The patch titled initramfs should not depend on CONFIG_BLOCK has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was initramfs-should-not-depend-on-config_block.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: initramfs should not depend on CONFIG_BLOCK From: Dimitri Gorokhovik <dimitri.gorokhovik@xxxxxxx> initramfs ended up depending on BLOCK: INITRAMFS_SOURCE <-- BLK_DEV_INITRD <-- BLOCK This inhibits use of customized-initramfs-over-ramfs without block layer (ramfs would still be enabled), useful in embedded applications. Move BLK_DEV_INITRD out of 'drivers/block/Kconfig' and into 'init/Kconfig', make it unconditional.
