Add a new config option that controls building the buffer_head code, and select it from all file systems and stacking drivers that need it. For the block device nodes and alternative iomap based buffered I/O path is provided when buffer_head support is not enabled, and iomap needs a a small tweak to define the IOMAP_F_BUFFER_HEAD flag to 0 to not call into the buffer_head code when it doesn't exist. Otherwise this is just Kconfig and ifdef changes.

config NILFS2_FS tristate "NILFS2 file system support" select BUFFER_HEAD select CRC32 select LEGACY_DIRECT_IO help NILFS2 is a log-structured file system (LFS) supporting continuous snapshotting. In addition to versioning capability of the entire file system, users can even restore files mistakenly overwritten or destroyed just a few seconds ago. Since this file system can keep consistency like conventional LFS, it achieves quick recovery after system crashes.
NILFS2 creates a number of checkpoints every few seconds or per
synchronous write basis (unless there is no change). Users can
select significant versions among continuously created checkpoints,
and can change them into snapshots which will be preserved for long
periods until they are changed back to checkpoints. Each
snapshot is mountable as a read-only file system concurrently with
its writable mount, and this feature is convenient for online backup.
Some features including atime, extended attributes, and POSIX ACLs,
are not supported yet.
To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called nilfs2. If unsure, say N.
