Hi,

the following patch enables devfs support for the raw devices.
It is a blatant cut-and-copy from other drivers, and it passed the
basic tests I could figure out (mainly xine dvd raw access) - with and
without devfs.

Without devfs I find the raw devices under /dev on my Debian box,
but man raw(8) itself introduces the /dev/raw/ directory.
So, the proposed devices naming scheme is:

/dev/raw/rawctl
/dev/raw/raw1
...
/dev/raw/raw64

I would like to submit the patch to the maintainer, but I failed to
find who he is! (Stephen Tweedie?)
