??? Well, missing such a difference is *obvious*, since it does not make sense 
at all.

I'm instead discovering a more interesting issue, due to some mainline updates 
to Kconfig, preventing Ramdisk code to build. Trivial fix attached. A less 
trivial fix, i.e. uml-depend-out-main-block-Kconfig.patch, cleaning things up 
definitely (i.e. going to drop arch/um/Kconfig_block , which is a selected 
duplicate of what's in drivers/block/Kconfig), is attached too.

Update the text of Kconfig_block to match mainline changes. I'll later maybe
submit a cleanup about the duplication of part of drivers/block/Kconfig in
Kconfig_block - with appropriate fixes, we could just use
drivers/block/Kconfig.

Finally, we end with this the need to update arch/um/Kconfig_block with
changes in drivers/block/Kconfig.
