Support for glibc-2.14 systems

Hello,

Due to the changes in glibc-2.14 busybox no longer compiles when NFS
support is enabled.  This breaks genkernel.  The following is a very
crude patch to just make things work on glibc-2.14 systems.  A better
patch would be to detect glibc-2.14 and then make a config decision.
The best patch would be to port libtirpc to openssl, make busybox link
against libtirpc, restore NFS support, and put an end to this whole
mess.  But in the meantime:

Do not mess with MDADMs auto-detect

Only reason for this logic is to limit what entries in /proc/partitions
mdadm scans for arrays.
However this seems to break raids in containers (example Intel fakeraids)
as those containers are never scanned for arrays.
(On my system it activates /dev/md/imsm0, but never /dev/md/Gentoo_0 which
is the real RAID with the removed logic)
If someone has something dead-slow they do not want scanned for raids,
it is better if they specify their own mdadm.conf.
If someone finds an example of something that mdadm scans for arrays that
is not supposed to be scanned, we may handle that then.

Make it possible to choose a custom mdadm.conf for your ramdisk.
If not set, no mdadm.conf will be copied, and ramdisk will auto-detect.
This also fixes a regression where genkernel always tried to copy
/etc/mdadm.conf to the ramdisk, failing if it was non-existant.
