For F-13 (and RHEL-6, I'll clone this bug), mdraid set activation has moved from rc.sysinit to udev rules. This includes the activation of isw / imsm BIOS RAID sets. In order for the udev rules to be able to honor the noiswmd kernel cmdline option a udev property should be set when this option is present so that the udev rules can check for this. The rules already check for rd_NO_MDIMSM, this was my idea / suggestion as I assumed this property would be propagated from the initrd udev to the normal one, but it is not. Still it would be the easiest to use rd_NO_MDIMSM as property name.
