Have you tried a 3-disk raid6 yet?  Any conclusions?

Yes, I played around a bit and used the two attached patches that
relax some checks in the kernel and in mdadm. It appears to work fine,
but I did only minimal testing with small loop devices, so I would
not recommend it for production use yet :)

In the last lines of the patch:
Name ": at least 4 raid-devices needed for level 6\n");
