"Incoming" function prototypes and "outgoing" function calls must match
reality. Implemented using the "struct BlockDriver" definition in
"include/block/block_int.h", and gcc errors & warnings.

Fill in the BlockDriver structure with the raw_*() functions that have
been added to "block/raw_bsd.c", in the order the fields are defined in
"include/block/block_int.h".
I needed more explanation / naming examples for registering the driver
than what Paolo gave me, so I copied / adapted from "block/qcow2.c". The
parts I took as basis for modification are blamed on

Code taken and adapted from "block/qcow2.c", as suggested. The code being
copied/modified is blamed on

This patch implements the email up to the paragraph ending with "100+ SLOC
roughly". The skeleton is generated from the list there, with a simple
shell loop using "sed" and the raw_foo() template.
The BSD license block is copied (and reflowed) from
"util/qemu-progress.c".
