Great!

Please enable CONFIG_KERNEL_DIRECT_IO option by default when building 
next release kernel so that mdadm RAID can be used without re-compiling 
a custom image.

I had spent a few hours before figuring out that mdadm lede package 
can't be used with stock kernel because the above option was missing,
I think it is really misleading from a user point of view...
