Are there any plans to support AMD RAID?

AMD RAID is _like_ Intel RAID, but has a number of differences.  One is
that it requires UEFI (without UEFI it does not boot, at least).  It comes
on/with AMD motherboards for Zen and Threadripper processors.  It also only
supports RAID 0/1/10, that is: no support for 5/50.

Also, unlike Intel RAID, at least initially, the raw disks don't seem to
show up.  That's not entirely true: On some motherboards, NVME RAID is
supported and the NVME "disks" show up, but the SATA disks do not.

Obviously this is all in the service of mounting the dual-boot windows
drive.
