 In the installer environment, /dev/md/ does not exist prior to anaconda
 attempting to run mdadm -I.  Because mdadm wants to store a map file in
 /dev/md/, and without it fails to assemble devices properly in incremental
 mode, anaconda is having fits.  So, I patched mdadm to store its file in
 /dev/.mdadm.map instead (this is guaranteed to be writable on first call
 to mdadm -I during normal bootup, where as /var/run/mdadm.map was not,
 hence the original move to /dev/md/mdadm.map, but since /dev/md isn't
 always available either, use /dev/.mdadm.map).  I've installed the new
 mdadm and verified that it does indeed use this new location to store its
 incremental assembly map file, and that incremental assembly worked as
 expected.

 Build n-v-r is mdadm-3.0-0.devel3.6.fc11, requesting party from Anaconda
 team is dlehman.
