Hi Alan,

Thanks for your comments!

Lenovo SWRAID driver is a closed source driver at this time, I am afraid 
it's not possible to submit it to kernel.
So you're violating our copyright and want help for that?  Be ashamed!
This patch is very important and critical for Lenovo next generation 
Servers. I have tried to make sure this patch only impacts Lenovo 
dedicated hardware and add a on/off boot option to end user who may 
still wants using open source SWRAID(such as MDRAID).
The right ting is to always use mdraid and contribute the lenovo
superblock format to it, similar to how we support half a dozen other
non-native formats.
