[md PATCH 00/24] Allow bitmaps to be resized.

[NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx>]

The following series has just been added to my for-next queue
and so should be in 3.5.
  git://neil.brown.name/md for-next
  git://github.com/neilbrown/linux.git md/for-next

It allows md to resize a bitmap on an active array.  This
means that arrays can now be reshaped without first removing the
bitmap.  The bitmap is resized in-place.

As always: review and testing would be greatly appreciated.
