Systemd upstream does not and can not properly support dmraid or md
setup natively. These tools do not fit properly in the full hotplug
model of systemd.

The setup of these 'fake block devices' is all done by more or less
dirty hacks provided by the distributions, and all these hacks look
pretty different in every distribution. I expect only a
distribution-specific list can help you here, systemd itself is not
really involved here.
