         *   check version - must be at least 0.90.0
         *   check kernel version.  must be at least 2.4.
         *    If not, we can possibly fall back on START_ARRAY
         *   Try to GET_ARRAY_INFO.
         *     If possible, give up
         *     If not, try to STOP_ARRAY just to make sure

         *   Check uuid (set if we don't have one) - discard if no match
         *   Check superblock similarity if we have a superblock - discard if different
