How to build dm-raid4-5 module ?

[Heinz Mauelshagen]

Jane,

FYI: the patch available on my people page is excluding
     Makefile and Kconfig changes; need to provide an updated one...

Do you have evidence (tests etc.) for the degraded case not handled properly ?
I'ld be interested in those.

Thanks,
Heinz
