Subject: uml: fix CONFIG_RAW dependencies
From: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add the BLOCK dependency for RAW_DRIVER, to match what's in
drivers/char/Kconfig.  Also, while we're there, update the alleged
obsolesence of RAW_DRIVER since it doesn't seem to be going away any
time soon.

           The raw driver permits block devices to be bound to /dev/raw/rawN.
           Once bound, I/O against /dev/raw/rawN uses efficient zero-copy I/O.
           See the raw(8) manpage for more details.
