There is really no good reason for that. The RAID1 and 10 code really
just needs some love to use the bio cloning infrastructure, bio
iterators and generally recent bio apis. btrfs just needs a tiny little
bit of help and I'll send patches soon.

Having two different code path is just asking for trouble in the long
run.
