Hi Ben,

I will give this patch a try. 

So from blk-cgroup perspective, the advantage of allowing it as module
will be that we can save some memory if we are not using the controller?

Why are you moving blkio_subsys declaration up in the file. That way now
you have to declare all the functions before you can instanciate
blkio_subsys?

Could above if conditions be simplified to just check for BLK_CGROUP_MODULE.

#ifdef CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP_MODULE
extern struct cgroup_subsys blkio_subsys;
#define blkio_subsys_id blkio_subsys.subsys_id
#endif
