some things they offer over vinum is: easiness of setup, no disklabel stuff, if a drive fails just go into the setup and rebuild it. its easy (TM).

As long as theres no quick way to RAID-1 all partitions including / whats the point?

If we had ZFS port done then there would really be no point in using onboard RAID, I agree.

Does this mean now that onboard RAID controllers that come with today nearly all motherboards will be finally supported? If so, thats awesome.

The "onboard" RAID controllers are more or less a marketing gag. Almost all the functionality still has to be implemented in the drivers, they don't offer the performance of real RAID controllers nor the ability to use e.g. battery buffered write caches. In short, they don't offer over ccd or vinum.
