Subject: [PATCH] BLOCK: Simplify the Kconfig structure for the BLOCK layer.


Given that everything in block/Kconfig and block/Kconfig.iosched
depends on "BLOCK", might as well just wrap the entire contents in a
single conditional and remove the unnecessary tests.

Signed-off-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@...shcourse.ca>

  unless there's something tricky or obscure that can happen in the
block layer that *doesn't* depend on BLOCK, this should be a
reasonable simplification.
