HMM!!

Maybe we could end up doing something usefull here for a change...

I would *love* GEOM to grow RAIDX support, so that I just needed to
write the read/write RAID config routines to support Promise/HPT/xxx
RAID's. That would also mean we could end the miserable lifes of
ataraid/vinum/raidframe, which would be a reallygood thing (tm).

But I'll bet this sensible a solution to the RAID problems will
drown in religion/warfare/bikesheds between those involded in 
the above RAID solutions and the usual whiners/armchair generals.

But count me in for this!!
