It is supposed to be supported (that's what the ar0 device is) though
it's a truly pointless feature.  Even in Windows it doesn't even manage
to allow you to boot reliably in the face of drive failure because the
BIOS level support fails in many cases.  A friend of mine had both disks
corrupted when one of them was pulled to test the failure recovery.
