installer needs raid 6 support, at least for pre-existing raid 6 in kickstart

Description of problem: I upgraded my raid 5 physical volumes to raid 6. They contain non-essential filesystems that I could configure post install, but ideally the installer should not simply discard them and then complain that it can't bring up the volume group that contains them, so it can't set up the filesystems in them. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.1.0.77-1 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a raid 6 device 2.Start the installer Actual results: It logs on VT3 that it doesn't support raid 6 and ignores the device, so volume groups containing them can't be brought up Expected results: Even if it does not support raid 6 in the GUI, it should be able to trivially support the reuse of such devices in existing volume groups, since it doesn't even have to deal with them other than bringing them up. Additional info:
anaconda supports raid6, but the module name changed so we didn't load it and then notice so don't support raid6 :) Adjusted the module list
