Support RAID storage using Intel VROC

Feature Overview (aka. Goal Summary)  

Intel VROC (Virtual RAID on CPU) is a nontraditional RAID option that can offer some management and potential performance improvements compared to a traditional hardware raid. RAID devices can be set up from firmware or via remote management tools and present as MD devices.

The expected outcome of this feature is the ability to use such devices as the boot device when installing RHCOS.

Requirement

Users can install OCP to servers using RSTe and VROC RAID devices using any bare metal install method.
**

Out of Scope

Any technologies not already supported by the RHEL kernel.
