AFAICT, mddev_t->major_version is used to indicate the superblock format. That
form is used in add_new_disk(), but not in autostart_array().

It looks like the autostart_array function is set up to only work with the 0.90.0
superblock format, but the add_new_disk function calls the proper
superblock-handling form using super_types[] to switch between the type 0 and type
1 superblock formats.

OTOH, I could be wrong.

Do we go for Queen's English, American English, or what? Just so I can set up the
spell-checker in the proper locale.
