I'm told (by people who work with embedded people) that first the
customer says "Oh, I don't need the block layer, I just need MTD", so
they disable CONFIG_BLOCK, then the customer says "Oh, I need to support
USB storage", so they re-enable CONFIG_BLOCK, add CONFIG_SCSI and scsi
disk support and usb-storage.
