Hi Andreas,

How long ago? I never needed it on six pieces of equipment of varying
dimensions, including an SAS server (with reflashed Dell equipment, if
that's what Bayfront is using) and a VM with NVMe SSDs.

Either way, accepting this patch as is now will not break anything. We
introduce a new mapping (md-device-mapping) that can be used to
reconfigure Bayfront at the maintainer's leisure.

It would be easy to react to a bug report later while Bayfront continues
to use raid-device-mapping..

Kind regards
Felix
