Allow setting of number of raw devices as a module parameter
Allow setting of maximal number of raw devices as a module parameter. This requires changing of static array into a vmalloced one (the array is going to be too large for kmalloc). Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
