This looks great but prevents kyber from being built as module,
which is AFAIK supposed to work (and works now):

..
CC [M] block/kyber-iosched.o
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 313 modules
ERROR: "bio_attempt_back_merge" [block/kyber-iosched.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "bio_attempt_front_merge" [block/kyber-iosched.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "bio_attempt_discard_merge" [block/kyber-iosched.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "blk_try_merge" [block/kyber-iosched.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "blk_rq_merge_ok" [block/kyber-iosched.ko] undefined!
..

It does build fine when compiled in, obviously. :)

cheers,
Holger
