From abd4aa5a97ebc0efb9a7fbc98ef0bcf39266fadf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Jones Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2007 23:40:49 -0700 Subject: undeprecate raw driver Despite repeated attempts over the last two and half years, this driver seems somewhat persistant. Remove its deprecated status as it has existing users who may not be in a position to migrate their apps to O_DIRECT.
