Partitioned raid and major number

Hello,

	I see that Linus merged partitioned raid into bitkeeper.
The major number of partitioned raid devices is allocated dynamically.

I want to set up a server with 2 disks in RAID1 mode, partitioned.
To be able to boot from it, the RAID1 device needs to have a fixed
major number (I don't want to be forced to use an initrd). Is it
planned to ask LANANA for a fixed major number? If not, would a
patch to pass the major number on the kernel command line be accepted ?

Thanks,

Mike.
