From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
Subject: Allow setting of number of raw devices as a module parameter
References: FATE 302178
Patch-mainline: never

Allow setting of maximal number of raw devices as a module parameter. This requires
changing of static array into a vmalloced one (the array is going to be too large
for kmalloc).
