    Subject[PATCH] add raw driver Kconfig entry for s390
    From: Ihno Krumreich <ihno@suse.de>
    
    The raw module is not enabled on s390/s390x
    During SLES9 and SLES10 development IBM filed bugs about the missing raw
    driver. Avoid that for SLES11 by adding it to the other char driver
    entries.
