+From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com>
+Subject: [PATCH] raw: Use the RAW_SETBIND ioctl without stat'ing the raw# file
+References: bnc#450675
+
+ The in-kernel ioctl code creates a raw# device on-demand. udev will create
+ the /dev/raw/raw# file when the device is created automatically.
+
+ The current raw userspace code wants to stat the file before using it,
+ which is unnecessary for setting up the raw device.
+
+ This patch stats the file only when query() is called as a singleton, and
+ it's doubtful it's needed even there. I modified as little code as I could,
+ though.
+
+ Without this patch raw devices WILL NOT WORK on SLE11.
