        - Fix #130016 - remove raw.   <====



From rom linux/drivers/char/Kconfig
        config RAW_DRIVER
                tristate "RAW driver (/dev/raw/rawN) (OBSOLETE)"
                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.
        
                  The raw driver is deprecated and may be removed from 2.7   <====
                  kernels.  Applications should simply open the device (eg /dev/hda1)
                  with the O_DIRECT flag.



From rom util-linux.spec
        # Note on how to set up raw device mappings using RHL /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices
        Patch109: util-linux-2.11f-rawman.patch
        ...
        echo '.so man8/raw.8' > $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_mandir}/man8/rawdevices.8
        ...
        for I in man1/chkdupexe.1 man1/line.1 man1/pg.1 man8/cfdisk.8 man8/fsck.minix.8 man8/mkfs.minix.8 man8/mkfs.bfs.8 \
                man8/raw.8 man8/rawdevices.8; do
                rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_mandir}/${I}*
        done

Patch for raw man page, and raw man page removed further.
