Hi, 

While I was looking at the static arrays in the drivers, I found global
array raw_devices[] used for describing raw device infos is hard sized
by 256.  To better prepare for more minor bits in the future,  this
small patch is made to using MINORMASK to size raw_devices[] instead of
hardcoding.  Please consider it in 2.5.
