The support for write intent bitmaps in files on an external files in md
is a hot mess that abuses ->bmap to map file offsets into physical device
objects, and also abuses buffer_heads in a creative way.

Make this code optional so that MD can be built into future kernels
without buffer_head support, and so that we can eventually deprecate it.

Note this does not affect the internal bitmap support, which has none of
the problems.
