I'm not convinced we should extend the md api in libguestfs to active 
manipulation. I wasn't convinced that mdadm-create was worthwhile 
either, but it made a test case ever so slightly tidier. To me, MD 
devices are the domain of physical machines. We need to be able to 
*read* them (for P2V apart from anything else), but I think manipulation 
is opening an unnecessary can of worms.
