In my opinion, this is the wrong fix.  There shouldn't be anything in the
kernel using stuff from bsg.h if CONFIG_BLOCK=n, so there should be an error if
anything tries to.  The correct fix is to exclude the non-userspace-visible
contents of bsg.h with #ifdef CONFIG_BLOCK, not to declare things that we've
tried to make sure specifically aren't declared.

[PATCH] VFS: Make BSG declarations dependent on CONFIG_BLOCK

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Make BSG function declarations dependent on CONFIG_BLOCK as they are not
compilable if the block layer is compiled out.
