rawfs v0.2 available

I wrote a small filesystem that shows the partitions on a disk as large
files. This way you can access partitions directly while still going
through the pagecache, so that things like mmap() actually work. Ofcourse
it is limited to 2GB if you're on a 32 bit system.

I wrote it especially to use together with INN-2.0 and CNFS, this should have
much better performance than using big files on a filesystem (no triple
indirect blocks etc). And no fsck after a crash.

It's in the form of a module for 2.0.x and you can find it at
ftp://ftp.cistron.nl/pub/people/miquels/kernel/rawfs-0.2.tar.gz
