	 * The task of Assemble is to find a collection of
	 * devices that should (according to their superblocks)
	 * form an array, and to give this collection to the MD driver.
	 * In Linux-2.4 and later, this involves submitting a
	 * SET_ARRAY_INFO ioctl with no arg - to prepare
	 * the array - and then submit a number of
	 * ADD_NEW_DISK ioctls to add disks into
	 * the array.  Finally RUN_ARRAY might
	 * be submitted to start the array.
	 *
	 * Much of the work of Assemble is in finding and/or
	 * checking the disks to make sure they look right.
	 *
	 * If mddev is not set, then scan must be set and we
	 *  read through the config file for dev+uuid mapping
	 *  We recurse, setting mddev, for each device that
	 *    - isn't running
	 *    - has a valid uuid (or any uuid if !uuidset)
	 *
	 * If mddev is set, we try to determine state of md.
	 *   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
	 *
	 * If !uuidset and scan, look in conf-file for uuid
	 *       If not found, give up
	 * If !devlist and scan and uuidset, get list of devs from conf-file
	 *
	 * For each device:
	 *   Check superblock - discard if bad
	 *   Check uuid (set if we don't have one) - discard if no match
	 *   Check superblock similarity if we have a superblock - discard if different
	 *   Record events, devicenum
	 * This should give us a list of devices for the array
	 * We should collect the most recent event number
	 *
	 * Count disks with recent enough event count
	 * While force && !enough disks
	 *    Choose newest rejected disks, update event count
	 *     mark clean and rewrite superblock
	 * If recent kernel:
	 *    SET_ARRAY_INFO
	 *    foreach device with recent events : ADD_NEW_DISK
	 *    if runstop == 1 || "enough" disks and runstop==0 -> RUN_ARRAY
	 * If old kernel:
	 *    Check the device numbers in superblock are right
	 *    update superblock if any changes
