+ This permits the block layer to be removed from the kernel if it's not
+ needed (on some embedded devices for example). If this option is
+ disabled, then blockdev files will become unusable and some
+ filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable.
+
+ This option will also disable SCSI character devices and USB storage
+ since they make use of various block layer definitions and
+ facilities.
