[PATCH] md: allow md intent bitmap to be stored near the superblock.

This provides an alternate to storing the bitmap in a separate file.  The
bitmap can be stored at a given offset from the superblock.  Obviously the
creator of the array must make sure this doesn't intersect with data....
After is good for version-0.90 superblocks.
