I implemented most of what's needed for RAID5 (and RAID6) a year or so
ago.

It's waiting on Chris to do the final bits in the upper layers which are
required to ensure we only ever write a full stripe.

That should allegedly be Real Soon Now. Although he's been saying that
for quite a long time...
