Legacy autoloading support

└─>Enable the block layer
└─>Legacy autoloading support
In linux kernel since version 5.2 (release Date: 2019-07-07)
Enable loading modules and creating block device instances based on
accesses through their device special file. This is a historic Linux
feature and makes no sense in a udev world where device files are
created on demand, but scripts that manually create device nodes and
then call losetup might rely on this behavior.
