I see the problem: BLK_DEV_RBD and CEPH_FS both have 'select CEPH_LIB' and 
CEPH_LIB depends on INET and selects LIBCRC32C, but kconfig doesn't 
propagate those backward dependencies for you.  It looks like CEPH_FS and 
BLK_DEV_RBD should then depend on/select CEPH_LIB _and_ its dependencies.  
Patching that (and the BLOCK dependency) up now...

Unless there is a better way to do it?

Thanks!
