Ok, I see. This is only recognisable if you feed the speed_limit_min|max with
MAXINT. That's quite ok so far.

Another thing I noticed is that it seems impossible to hotadd to a raid with
persistent superblock with bitmap support.
If you do the test case from the FR1 readme (mkraid -> raidsetfaulty -> raidhotadd) you get:

kernel: md: syncing RAID array md0
kernel: md: minimum _guaranteed_ reconstruction speed: 2147483647 KB/sec/disc.
kernel: md: using maximum available idle IO bandwith (but not more than 2147483647 KB/sec) for reconstruction.
kernel: md: using 124k window, over a total of 25679808 blocks.
kernel: md0: removed bitmap e605bc80

and following a complete resync.

Is this intended behaviour?
