- Select this option if you want to access your channel-attached tape
- devices using the block device interface. This interface is similar
- to CD-ROM devices on other platforms. The tapes can only be
- accessed read-only when using this interface. Have a look at
- <file:Documentation/s390/TAPE> for further information about creating
- volumes for and using this interface. It is safe to say "Y" here.

- * In 2.5/2.6 the block device request function is very likely to be called
- * with disabled interrupts (e.g. generic_unplug_device). So the driver can't
- * just call any function that tries to allocate CCW requests from that con-
- * text since it might sleep. There are two choices to work around this:
- * a) do not allocate with kmalloc but use its own memory pool
- * b) take requests from the queue outside that context, knowing that
- * allocation might sleep
