      Currently, in lov_init_composite() will quit with error when reading an unknown LOV pattern:

      			CERROR("%s: unknown composite layout entry type %i\n",
      			       lov2obd(dev->ld_lov)->obd_name,
      			       lsm->lsm_entries[i]->lsme_pattern);
      

      Since FLR will be used for upcoming new features, like PCC-RO, an old client should still be able to read the old format mirrors and ignore the new types of mirrors.

      On the MDS, it should skip mirrors with unknown/foreign component types and mark them stale when selecting which component to use for writes.
