Right now, an nominal initial value is not set - meaning it is '0'.  (When a device comes back from a failure, 'saved_raid_disk' is assigned its old position.)

Excellent.  I've taken the liberty of making that change in the patch you
sent me and converted your RFC-by: to Signed-off-by:

Result can be viewed at or near the top of

Please confirm that is OK to submit (eventually for 3.5).

Thanks,
