I have trouble answering the "least surprise" question in this area.
Is it more surprising to go into your BIOS, explicitly turn off raid
support and still see raid devices showing up?
Is the "RAID support has been explicitly turned off" state visible from a
running kernel? or is it indistinguishable from "platform does not have RAID
support"?
you can try guessing, intel controllers change their pci product_id based on the
mode they are set to operate in bios.
