  DM RAID: Add support for MD RAID10
  md/RAID1: Add missing case for attempting to repair known bad blocks.
  md/raid5: For odirect-write performance, do not set STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE.

  md: remove duplicated test on ->openers when calling do_md_stop()
  raid5: Add R5_ReadNoMerge flag which prevent bio from merging at block layer
  md/raid1: prevent merging too large request
  md/raid1: read balance chooses idlest disk for SSD
