I believe it goes through the system cache, I recall seeing a discussion 
on it in linux-devel. Linus said that raw devices are plain stupid and he 
wasn't going to implement them. I can search a little more in what I've

        Your desire for justice and truth will be overshadowed by your
        desire for filthy lucre and a decent meal.  Be gracious and
        polite.  Someone is watching you, so stop staring like that.
