There's trailing whitespace on this line, and one more line further
on.  git am spotted this.

The convention in almost all other code is to return >= 0 on success
and -1 on error, not booleans.  I think this should be changed for
consistency.

How does this code act if /etc/mdadm.conf is bogus, but the guest
doesn't have any MD devices (or doesn't have any in /etc/fstab at any
rate)?  I think we should be able to deal with this by not giving an
error.  It indeed appears to be the case that map_md_devices doesn't
call error(), but wasn't clear if this was intentional so we can deal
silently with a bogus mdadm.conf, or was accidental.
