	 * - UUID in /var/run/mdadm.map  use that
	 * - If name is suggestive, use that. unless in use with different uuid.
	 * - Choose a free, high number.

	 *         e.g. auto=md
	 *   Don't choose partitioned for containers.
	 * 5/ Find out if array already exists
	 * 5a/ if it does not
	 * - choose a name, from mdadm.conf or 'name' field in array.
	 * - create the array
	 * - add the device

	 * - check one drive in array to make sure metadata is a reasonably

	 * 6/ Make sure /var/run/mdadm.map contains this array.
	 * 7/ Is there enough devices to possibly start the array?
	 *     For a container, this means running Incremental_container.
	 * 7a/ if not, finish with success.
	 * 7b/ if yes,
	 * - read all metadata and arrange devices like -A does
	 * - if number of OK devices match expected, or -R and there are enough,
