Re: [PATCH 005 of 11] md: Merge raid5 and raid6 code

NeilBrown wrote:

There is a lot of commonality between raid5.c and raid6main.c.  This
patches merges both into one module called raid456.  This saves a lot
of code, and paves the way for online raid5->raid6 migrations.

There is still duplication, e.g. between handle_stripe5 and
handle_stripe6.  This will probably be cleaned up later.
