Jens,
Has anyone looked at what BLOCK=n does to mm/page-writeback.c ?
It calls blk_congestion_end(), which isn't there.

mm/built-in.o: In function `writeback_congestion_end':
(.text.writeback_congestion_end+0xc): undefined reference to `blk_congestion_end'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
Command exited with non-zero status 2
