Seems to do what it promises:

I'd like to hear a few more opinions on whether it's a good idea, but I
don't think this should stay for too long on the list because we already
have conflicting patches.

One effect that makes me less than fully happy is that 'git log
block/raw.c' without --follow mixes the history of the renamed driver
with the history of the old, differently licensed one. On the other
hand, the removal of the old driver happened three years ago, so it's
probably unlikely that people confuse what belongs to which one and
revive old code accidentally.
