Its just as easy as restoring a hardware array.
RTFM helps.  I bet you RTFM on the hardware raid, so why is it a problem for 
software raid?
I've done it on a couple of occasions both with software raid 5 and software 
mirroring.

In fact, software raid is so effective, I frequently use fake raid boards and 
just jumper
them to act as simple controllers, taking advantage of the multitude of ports 
and
killing off their internal raid controller.
