Hello Arnd,

Since Jens has already queued your patch it's too late to consider alternatives.
Anyway, since the cdrom driver calls block layer functions directly, have you
considered the following alternative?

This doesn't work, the problem is the existing dependency on 'BLK_DEV'
that is implied by
listing CONFIG_CDROM inside of the "if BLK_DEV" section. It would
probably be possible
to move CONFIG_CDROM' outside of this 'if' section and use 'select
BLK_DEV' inside it,
but that in turn would make the Kconfig logic even less intuitive than
it already is.
