The patch titled

     add raw driver Kconfig entry for s390

has been added to the -mm tree.  Its filename is

     add-raw-driver-kconfig-entry-for-s390.patch

See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find
out what to do about this


From: Ihno Krumreich <ihno@xxxxxxx>

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.
