 Hierarchical RAID sets don't autoconfigure. Add autocnfig time, the driver
 only searches disk partitions (and wedges) of type raid and assembles raid
 sets from these. For hierarchical raids that process would need to recurse.
 
 Most useful would be a mechanism that incrementally builds raid sets
 and scans disks for raid compoments when they attach (like we scan
 for wedges now). That would support hierarchical raids and also
 support hot-plug disks. If that's not needed for the root, it could
 be implemented as a devpubd hook. Of course devpubd should then run
 much earlier...
