How often do unload the md module while your system is running? Never?
Then build md directly into your kernel, not as a module. Problem
solved. In fact, if you're building a custom kernel for use on a single
machine, remove module support entirely, and build all of your drivers
directly into the kernel. I've done this for many many years. It makes
many things much easier.
