[PATCH] md: support write-mostly device in raid1
This allows a device in a raid1 to be marked as "write mostly". Read requests will only be sent if there is no other option. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
