Again, more words here would help.
Explain why "remove, then add" isn't sufficient.

Shouldn't this  fail if the device isn't Faulty, of if raid_disk isn't '-1' ??

This is a rather nice clean-up.  Possibly it could go in a separate patch -
or maybe not.

Also I think there is more room for improvement.
There is only one place in add_bound_rdev() that can set 'err', and I think
that when that happens we can just clean up and return. There is no real
need for the 'set_bit's or the wakeup.

Would you mind cleaning up a bit more?

Thanks,
