That module is only useful with ata.mod, which isn't the default.
With default biosdisk.mod the BIOS handles the RAID for us.
All the GRUB modules have nothing to do with handling the OS specific
things like device names.

On Debian BTS and Launchpad there's a bug about this. And maybe even
Savannah.
The main problem is that our way to map Linux devices to GRUB devices
doestn't work with multipath and dmraid devices.
There's a first patch I made for nvidia_ pdc_ and some isw_ devices, but
that's the wrong approach.
