The easiest thing is to reinstall the "mdadm" package in this case.
On my fc7 box it has all these pages:

  [/u/cameron]finola*> rpm -qf $(which mdadm)
  mdadm-2.6.2-4.fc7
  [/u/cameron]finola*1> rpm -ql mdadm
  /etc/rc.d/init.d/mdmonitor
  /sbin/mdadm
  /sbin/mdadm.static
  /sbin/mdassemble.static
  /usr/share/doc/mdadm-2.6.2
  /usr/share/doc/mdadm-2.6.2/COPYING
  /usr/share/doc/mdadm-2.6.2/ChangeLog
  /usr/share/doc/mdadm-2.6.2/TODO
  /usr/share/doc/mdadm-2.6.2/mdadm.conf-example
  /usr/share/doc/mdadm-2.6.2/syslog-events
  /usr/share/man/man4/md.4.gz
  /usr/share/man/man5/mdadm.conf.5.gz
  /usr/share/man/man8/mdadm.8.gz
  /usr/share/man/man8/mdassemble.8.gz
  /var/run/mdadm
