Add a new config option that controls building the buffer_head code, and
select it from all file systems and stacking drivers that need it.

For the block device nodes and alternative iomap based buffered I/O path
is provided when buffer_head support is not enabled, and iomap needs a
little tweak to be able to compile out the buffer_head based code path.

Otherwise this is just Kconfig and ifdef changes.

Hmm.

I actually have a patchset which _does_ allow for large I/O blocksizes with buffer_heads. (And even ltp/fsx is happy on xfs...)

Can we modify this to not have a compile-time option but rather a setting somewhere? EG kernel option or flag in struct address_space?

Cheers,

Hannes
