I don't believe this is neccessary. If you look at ~linux/drivers/block/Config.in, there is:
if [ "$CONFIG_MD_LINEAR" = "y" -o "$CONFIG_MD_STRIPED" = "y" ]; then bool ' Boot support (linear, striped)' CONFIG_MD_BOOT fi
which seems to imply you can boot off a linear or raid0 filesystem at least.
G'day!
