I was thinking of kern/30233 in particular.  I thought at the time you said
there were probably other reasons why RAIDframe's strategy was not interrupt
safe.  But it looks like 30233 is closed, and if that's all there is, great!

I still think coupling domU configuration to the dom0 disklabel is a poor
idea.
