Is this just used for Linux?

This isn't hardware RAID: under Windows, the device driver does the work
(and under DOS, the BIOS does). So under Linux, you're much better off
using the standard Linux software RAID.

Support for the VIA partitioning scheme is coming, but it isn't stable
yet.

Those are for the 2.4 kernel. No, they don't compile against 2.6.
They're not supposed to.
