Sounds good.

Also this is the deadline for CONFIG_BLK support. I am thinking of
doing a patch to remove boards which don't support it, starting with
ARM. I have not looked recently but there are definitely quite a few
stragglers. I am thinking of enabling CONFIG_BLK by default as a first
step, to see what breaks.

What do you think?
