Bug#624343: A workaround for "bio too big device mdX (Y > Z)" issue



As mentioned in my previous post, this issue should be fixed in Linux 4.3.

So I tried the same reproducing script, mentioned in previous post, on
linux-image 4.3.0-trunk-686-pae in experimental repo, and confirmed it
cannot be reproduced, without applying my previous workaround.

By a working workaround and fully fixed kernel in experimental repo, I
suggest this issue can be closed.
Thank you!

Cheers,
Roger
