Subject: [PATCH] Assemble: add support for RAID0 layouts.
Git-commit: 027c099fd1a31fb3815e592de75d0791a22353b4
Patch-mainline: mdadm-4.1+
References: bsc#1162479

If you have a RAID0 array with varying sized devices
on a kernel before 5.4, you cannot assembling it on
5.4 or later without explicitly setting the layout.
This is now possible with
  --update=layout-original (For 3.13 and earlier kernels)
or
  --update=layout-alternate (for 3.14 and later kernels)
