This can be easily implemented in GRUB 2 just like I implemented the
"loopback" support.  I did not know how software raid worked in GRUB
Legacy (I did not know it had software raid support) and I do not know
if this is the right way to implement it...

Something like this is possible with later (the latest?) GRUB Legacy
release AFAIK/
