The kernel patches that were in the earlier 5.x kernels are now a bit
out-of-date and IMHO not really suitable for production use.
There has recently been a number of new FS-Cache patches/improvements
that will be in the 2.6.32 mainline kernel
I doubt FS-Cache will be back in future 5.x kernels - my guess is that
it will be in the 6.x kernels
