Thanks for doing this - it does sound like they are useful.
As you note, the patches only include support for btrfs, not for md/raid.
I can carry the lib/raid stuff as I am nominally responsible for that, but I cannot send it upstream until there is a user ready to use it. If the btrfs team can be convinced to include the functionality: good. If not, there is nothing I can do to help.
There would be a non-trivial amount of effort to integrate this support into md/raid. I am not free to do that at present but if someone else wants to put in the time and effort, I can certainly provide guidance and review.
(and please don't send emails about md/raid to me personally. Always include the list at least in 'cc').
Thanks, NeilBrown
