Careful with that. Not all smart array are "real hardware raid":

Smart Array B110i SATA RAID Controller (RAID 0/1/10)
NOTE: Hardware RAID requires purchase of HP Smart Array P212 Controller.

Normally, hardware raid cards do not need to load any driver in order to
get the array detected because required module is included in the stock
kernel (aacraid, cciss, megaraid, 3ware, ips...).
