there is raid6 for 2.6, which shows me approximately where I'd need to 
modify code to turn it into RS.  However, I really need some documentation 
on the bio structure.  The bio.h file is sorely lacking comments, and, of 
course, the Rubini book isn't going to help me.

Can someone point me at some documentation for the bio structure?

I strongly agree with Peter.  Base your work on 2.6, not 2.4.  The
raid code is much cleaner in 2.6.
