remove the raw driver
The raw driver used to provide direct unbuffered access to block devices before O_DIRECT was invented. It has been obsolete for more than a decade.

-config RAW_DRIVER
- tristate "RAW driver (/dev/raw/rawN)"
- depends on BLOCK
- help
- The raw driver permits block devices to be bound to /dev/raw/rawN.
- Once bound, I/O against /dev/raw/rawN uses efficient zero-copy I/O.
- See the raw(8) manpage for more details.
-
- Applications should preferably open the device (eg /dev/hda1)
- with the O_DIRECT flag.

- The maximum number of RAW devices that are supported.
- Default is 256. Increase this number in case you need lots of
- raw devices.
