Sure, you can run software RAID.  These fake RAID controllers are all
software RAID; the only issue is that the BIOS understands them and
thus can boot from them.  Once booted, the actual RAID-ness is done
via the OS.  Linux just needs to be able to comprehend the on-disk
structures that describe the array so that it can assemble it.

In my experience, dmraid just works; the Fedora installer sees the
RAID set and assembles is properly; you just see a large device, which
you can partition as normal.
