Subject: [PATCH] Remove obsolete raw device support.
Remove the long-obsolete "raw device" support.
Signed-off-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@...dspring.com>
---
based on this excerpt from
Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt:
What: RAW driver (CONFIG_RAW_DRIVER)
When: December 2005
Why: declared obsolete since kernel 2.6.3
O_DIRECT can be used instead
Who: Adrian Bunk <bunk@...sta.de>
all of this looks like it can be safely tossed. compile-tested with
"make allyesconfig" on x86.
