As far as I know nobody has mucked around with the code for autodetect
stuff on non-DOS disklabels. Neil Brown has been advocating that people
not use the partition types, and let the userspace tools set things up.
You can find his arguments in the archives for this list (info
linux-raid to majordomo@vger.kernel.org should get you some links to the
archives).
