patch: llseek for raw devices

Hi,
this is my try for implementing the llseek operation on raw devices. The reason is that lseek does a check on the limits of the undlying filesystem and thus tends to err where the real device lies. Lseek check takes the /dev/raw/rawX filesystem as limiting factor, not the device that is bound to rawX. In my case I'm using a reiserfs (the old one) with 4G limits and thus can't do an llseek on DVD, resulting in an error half way through the film.
This lseek was rigged together from the lseek from the memory device and from limit checkings from the rw_raw_dev function.
I couldn't find any maintainer, so it's going to the list. (Alan, if you're going to add it to the -ac patches, it's against plain 2.4.3 raw.c. But this patch should apply without problems)
(please watch the on long line below, will most probably get broken in transit)
