[PATCH 10/11] md: make bitmap file support optional

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Date: 2023-06-15 06:50:41
Also in: linux-block, linux-fsdevel
Subsystem: device-mapper (lvm), software raid (multiple disks) support, the rest · Maintainers: Alasdair Kergon, Mike Snitzer, Mikulas Patocka, Benjamin Marzinski, Song Liu, Yu Kuai, Linus Torvalds

The support for write intent bitmaps in files on an external files in md
is a hot mess that abuses ->bmap to map file offsets into physical device
objects, and also abuses buffer_heads in a creative way.

Make this code optional so that MD can be built into future kernels
without buffer_head support, and so that we can eventually deprecate it.

Note this does not affect the internal bitmap support, which has none of
the problems.
