Just curious...with these guys
(http://www.bigfootnetworks.com/KillerOverview.aspx) putting linux on a
PCI NIC to allow them to bypass Windows' network stack, has anyone ever
considered doing "hardware" raid by using an embedded cpu running linux
software RAID, with battery-backed memory?

It would theoretically allow you to remain feature-compatible by
downloading new kernels to your RAID card.
