Raid-10 allows things currently not possible with raid-0/raid-1, like
spreading 2 pieces of data over 3 pieces of harddisk.

Their was an introductory message on the linux-raid mailinglist, but
it's more than one month old so I don't have a local copy.

New drivers that are not enabled by default have always been allowed in
stable kernels, since they don't have an impact on stability for the
average user.
