I don't like this split.  Splitting out *subsystems* may ease review,
but this splits out directory block/, which is only a part of the block
subsystem.  Explaining this takes you more than three dozen words.  I'd
prefer either the whole block subsystem (as defined in MAINTAINERS)
split out, or no split.

I'm willing to accept the split as is anyway if block maintainers are
okay with it.

I'm also willing to squash the three parts on commit.
