If I read between the lines here I think you're saying that the raid

No. All that's in the chipset is enough to read a RAID volume for
boot. Block layout, RAID-5 parity calculations, and the rest are all
done in the software. I wouldn't be surprised if RAID-5 parity
checking was absent on read for boot, but I don't actually know.
