As noted by others that is the software raid (multiple device) driver.
Which makes me think you are using a bootstrapping kernel which has
everything built in.  In which case you might consider updating to a
tuned kernel for your hardware.  The tuned kernels implement most
device drivers as modules.

  apt-cache search kernel-image

Updating from the bootstrapping kernel to a tuned kernel is slightly
more complex than the typical package install.  If seeing the md
driver noise at boot is your only complaint then I would not upgrade.
