Subject: md: separate meta and data devs
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a6ff7e089c7fca813c956ccbed824087e89a3a49;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

md: separate meta and data devs

Allow the metadata to be on a separate device from the
data.

This doesn't mean the data and metadata will by on separate
physical devices - it simply gives device-mapper and userspace
tools more flexibility.
