Oh, I forgot to address all the hardware RAID stuff as well. It should
be possible to add support to DeviceKit-disks for most of these too;
I've got a LSI SAS card here that does hardware RAID and exposes most
(if not all) operations through the /dev/mptctl node. And you can still
get to the raw LUN through /dev/sgN or /dev/bsg/* so we should be able
to do SMART stuff as well. It all just involves writing the code...
