from your post at

read that autodetecting arrays with a 1.x superblock is currently
impossible. Does it at least work to force the kernel to always assume
a 1.x sb? There are some 'broken' distros out there that still don't
use mdadm in initramfs, and recreating the initramfs each time is a
bit cumbersome...
The kernel build system should be able to do that for you, shouldn't it?
That would be an improvement, yes.
Hardly, with all the Fedora specific cruft. Anyway, there was a
simple patch posted in RH bugzilla, so I've gone with that.
I'm not sure what Fedora has to do with it, it is generally useful to
all distributions. What I had in mind was a make target, so that instead
of "install" as target, you could have "install_mdadm" in the Makefile.
Or "mdadm_install" to be consistent with "modules_install" perhaps.
