Hi,
Thanks for your patch.

you are only adding a change to native metadata so it would be good to
emphasize this in the title, please change "mdadm:" to "super1:"

There are also a few checkpatch issues,

WARNING: Prefer a maximum 75 chars per line (possible unwrapped commit
description?) #8: 
the bad_blocks records are not copied, so the bad_blocks records are
all zeros.

please use SHA-1 ID - first 12 characters and space between ID and

ERROR: code indent should use tabs where possible
#36: FILE: super1.c:1976:
+                                          MD_FEATURE_REPLACEMENT);$

WARNING: please, no spaces at the start of a line
#36: FILE: super1.c:1976:
+                                          MD_FEATURE_REPLACEMENT);$

However, in this case the code will fit on one line, the limit is 100
characters.

Since you added the test, would you be able to issue a PR on github
to get the tests running?
