I added it to my local tree and it be in the next patch set.  I need
to add soft error recovery (ie. if one drive has a read error automatically
recovery from the other drive) and a little more graceful addition of a failed
drive back into the RAID.  I also fixed a raid bug in ar_rw which could
lead to a panic on on I/O error. 

Thanks,

Doug A.
