Sounds sane. I know I have booted several kernels with it compiled out but just because you can do without it doesn't mean that something isn't using it.
Hmm. The question is where do I want the put the warning message?
When the code is compiled out? When the code is compiled in?
Probably both places at this point, and using the rate limited printk I think instead of just the 5 printks that sys_bdflush uses...
I will cook up an incremental patch once I get some sleep.
