While I don't think this was ever meant to be exposed to userspace, if
anyone is using it then this will at least provide a correct (if
unlikely) definition.

MAX_RAW_MINORS used to be used in the kernel, where it's been replaced
with CONFIG_MAX_RAW_MINORS.

Note that there's a checkpatch.pl warning about a split config string
here, but I've left that alone.
From a UAPI perspective I would think the right value would be 2^20.
