The feature lacks interface to specify the raid flags per-object. This
is WIP, keyword is 'properties', you'll find some preliminary patches in
the list. This is the ground work for all sorts of fancy tuning.

The filesystem split into areas with different raid levels will bring
interesting problems regarding free space and operations that cross the
raid levels. But I think it's doable.
