This patch exposes the uuid and the degraded status of an assembled
array through sysfs.
The uuid is useful in the case when multiple arrays exist on a system
and userspace needs to identify them; currently, the only portable way
that I know of is using 'mdadm -D' on each device until the desired uuid
is found. Having the uuid visible in sysfs is much more cleaner, IMHO.
Note on the method to format the uuid: I'm not sure if this is the best
way, I've copied and transformed the one in print_sb.
The 'degraded' attribute is also useful to quickly determine if the
array is degraded, instead of, again, parsing 'mdadm -D' output or
relying on the other techniques (number of working devices against
number of defined devices, etc.). The md code already keeps track of
this attribute, so it's useful to export it.
