Not much time for a long answer right now, but here is a short one: It
maybe impossible to do what you want (not sure, haven't looked that
close at the patch), but even if not it's likely a bad idea, as
dm-raid45 will be needed quite early during boot which leads to all
sorts of interesting problems and corner cases.

Maybe asking the Kernel-Developers in Fedora to integrate raid45 might
be a good idea and the first step. Normally they are quite reluctant to
include out-of-tree code, but the code is maintained by a RH developer
and the feature afaics is in RHEL, so it might be a bit different in
this case.
