I had this talk already with Bean on IRC.

At least the Nvidia nForce chipsets RAIDs have stored their 512 byte
superblock in (end of disks) - 1024 bytes.
The last 512 Bytes of both disks just contain zeroes.

dmraid searches all disks for these superblocks it supports.
So it is possible to implement this.
Althoguh i don't know if raid.mod should be renamed to mdraid.mod and
there should be a new dmraid.mod

But that probable confuses people
The raid.mod needs an overhaul anyway if the super 1.x format should be
implemented, because the 1.x ones store there superblock at different
positions of the disks not always at the same position where the current
default 0.90 stores it.
