Right, I wasn't clear in my original posting.  Seems to me that dmraid
presents what looks like a single device, so if this is being handled
in Windows, then when booted under qemu, perhaps Linux just references
/dev/hda and lets Windows deal with the RAID.  Not sure if this is
possible or too simplistic.

I'm thinking this configuration will not work.
