Enable RAID root system.
Quoting /usr/share/doc/cryptsetup/README.keyctl :
The current state for dm-crypt in Linux is that it is single threaded, thus
every dm-crypt mapping only uses a single core for crypto operations. To
use the full power of your many-core processor it is thus necessary to
split the dm-crypt device. For Linux software raid arrays the easiest
segmentation is to just put the dm-crypt layer below the software raid
layer.
However, this seems no longer true since 2.6.38, cf.

Therefore encrypting the array (instead of assembling an array of encrypted
disks) shouldn't cause a performance cost. Also, it makes the ramdisk much
easier to configure :-)
