I run gvinum raid5 in 6.1 Release on a light production server, and I've
not encountered any problems so far, but it _should_ work :)

About the PR's you found I'm not sure of what's a gvinum bug or not of
them, but at the thing about not checking NULL pointers for g_malloc is
because when passing the M_WAITOK flag to g_malloc (or kernel malloc
for instance), it is guaranteed to not return NULL because the flag
tells malloc to wait for resources to be freed.
