Do you need MD_BOOT in addition to AUTODETECT_RAID for booting?

The subject says it all. Looking at the 2.4 Config.help made it seem like you didn't need CONFIG_MD_BOOT in addition to CONFIG_AUTODETECT_RAID to boot from a RAID partition. I'm using 2.2.14 with raid, and before rebooting to 2.2.16-RAID, I just want to make sure I have my config options right.
