It is possible to invite the autodetection from initrd using the
appropriate ioctl. Our not too elegant solution is available here:
http://debian.caesar.elte.hu/dists/woody/itk/source/initrd-raid-autorun_0.2.dsc
http://debian.caesar.elte.hu/dists/woody/itk/source/initrd-raid-autorun_0.2.tar.gz
This contains a script which hooks the automagically generated ramdisk
during the build phase.
