This set of patches permits the block layer to be disabled and removed from the compilation such that it doesn't take up any resources on systems that don't need it. This set of patches is against the block git tree. Changes in [try #6]: (*) Remove all traces of block_sync_page() from AFS. Changes in [try #5]: (*) Update to block GIT tree for 2.6.18-rc5. (*) Make USB_STORAGE depend on SCSI rather than selecting it. (*) Remove dependencies on BLOCK where there are also dependencies on SCSI.
