/usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt:

162 char        Raw block device interface
                  0 = /dev/rawctl       Raw I/O control device
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                  1 = /dev/raw/raw1     First raw I/O device
                  2 = /dev/raw/raw2     Second raw I/O device

Thierry? I guess it may as well go into some directory inside of
/etc/devfsd ... somehow I am tempted to create subdirectory "compat" and
put all such stuff in there.
