Artem,
it is RFC. I have no doubts that other misunderstandings and reasonable 
requests for code change will arise. At the moment I see two: 1 - remove 
some artificial limitations for number of devices to be striped, and 2 - 
insmod parameters change from device name to device number. I'll fix 
them along with other things before posting patch next time.

Thanks,
