Hi Colin,

I would like to make sure any new module requirements are also
compatible with systems booting in legacy BIOS mode. The Wikipedia
article for Intel RST states:

> When booting in a BIOS environment (legacy) and some / EFI, the RST option
> ROM is used. When booting in a true UEFI environment the Option ROM is not
> used as a SataDriver with the RST version takes over. In BIOS mode the
> legacy/BIOS booting is under CSMCORE. In true UEFI mode the RST is
> controlled under SataDriver in BIOS. [1]

The article suggests that some people use IMSM arrays in legacy BIOS
mode. Does mdadm support IMSM only when the system is booted in UEFI
mode?

Sorry that I do not know the answer to that question. I just assumed
maintenance of mdadm and do not use IMSM. At this point, I am reading
code. Thank you!

Kind regards
Felix Lechner
