patch works. here is set -x output from a domU boot with new initramfs

I have reverted the patch and instead put a warning in place:

piper:~> sudo update-initramfs -u -k all -t #[314]
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.21-2-amd64
I: mdadm: using configuration file: /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
E: mdadm: invalid level specified in ARRAY statement in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf:
E: mdadm: ARRAY /dev/md1 level=1 num-devices=4 UUID=f69e3966:97736078:3d186b3c:53958f34
E: mdadm: levels should be either raid*, linear, or multipath.
W: mdadm: falling back to emergency procedure in initramfs.

This is a better approach than trying to cater for human error,
I think.
