Paolo asked me to write such a driver based on his textual specification alone. The first patch captures his email in full, the rest re-quotes parts that are being implemented.
The tree compiles at each patch. The series passes "make check-block". "block/raw.c" is not removed because I wanted to keep it out of my series and out of my brain. Disclaimer: I couldn't care less if the raw block driver was public domain or AGPLv3+, as long as it qualifies as free software. I'm only trying to do what Paolo asked of me.
