Thanks, couple comments:
* You should be able to use M_WAITOK in your mallocs for all funcs called
by ioctl since you have a process context
* Shouldn't you only do the rebuild automatically if the raid type is
AR_F_FREEBSD_RAID?  It's not necessary if it's hw raid, right?
* Should this be optional so that it's not rebuilt every time you run
atacontrol create?
