I think the current code is correct.
For v1.x metadata, the chunk size (both chunksize and new_chunk) is
stored in sectors.  in 0.90 it is stored in bytes. (in DDF, it is stored
as the base-2 log of sectors, but that is not relevant for the kernel).

So as mddev->new_chunk is (still) in bytes, we need to shift by 9.
??

I'll sort through the rest of the patches tomorrow, but that look fine.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
