   An update that has 12 recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:


   This collective update for mdadm provides the following
   features:

   * Add md_monitor 4.16 (FATE#313624), with fixes
   included from bnc#787826, bnc#770885, bnc#789202,
   bnc#787819 and bnc#789535

   In addition, the following changes for issue reports are
   included:

   * allow --incremental mode to add an old device as a
   spare if policy permits (bnc#773010)
   * allow IMSM arrays to be assembled even if platform
   information is not visible (bnc#785581)
   * mkinitrd-boot.sh: If multipath is in use, md is
   always on top of it. Therefore, the root is always an md
   device (bnc#786526)
   * fix SIGSEGV when there is an error during --create
   (bnc#766368)
   * fix up device reporting in --monitor mode
   * select the correct device when sending a "FailSpare"
   event (bnc#764916)
   * report the "timeout" flag set by the kernel
   (bnc#763402)
   * enhance "mdadm --detail" to report which "set" each
   device in a RAID10 is a member of, in case where that makes
   sense
   * allow devices to be re-added to a failed array. Thus
   if both legs of a RAID1/RAID0 are removed, it is still
   possible to put one back (bnc#746717)
