[BLOCK] elevator: allow default scheduler to potentially be modular
Jens has decided that allowing the default scheduler to be a module is
a bug, and should not be allowed under kconfig. However, I find that
scenario useful for debugging, and wish for the kernel to be able to
handle this situation without OOPSing, if I enable such an option in
the .config directly. This patch dynamically checks for the presence
of the compiled-in default, and falls back to no-op, emitting a
suitable error message, when the default is not available
Tested for a range of boot options on 2.6.16-rc1-mm2.
