I've got RAID1 working with this chip:

atapci0@pci0:15:0:      class=3D0x010400 card=3D0x80ed1043 chip=3D0x3149110=
6 rev=3D0x80 hdr=3D0x00
    vendor     =3D 'VIA Technologies Inc'
    device     =3D 'VT8237  VT6410 SATA RAID Controller'
    class      =3D mass storage
    subclass   =3D RAID

HTH,
