 Here it is, attached below. I've tested it on both i386 and m68knommu.

 Jens, could you please review this patch and push to Linus if you
like it?

 I really don't need sysfs on uClinux. I have no programs using it.
Removing sysfs appears to be a little bit more difficult, though.
I'll try tomorrow.

Add kconfig options to allow excluding either or both the I/O schedulers.
Mostly useful for embedded systems (save ~13KB):

With my desktop PC (i386) kernel:

   text data bss dec hex filename
   2210707 475856 150444 2837007 2b4a0f vmlinux_with_ioscheds
   2197763 473446 150380 2821589 2b0dd5 vmlinux_without_ioscheds

With my uClinux (m68knommu) kernel:

   text data bss dec hex filename
   807760 47384 78884 934028 e408c linux_without_ioscheds
   819276 52460 78896 950632 e8168 linux_with_ioscheds
