I like that approach much better. I suppose it's not _strictly_ necessary to rip
out the __bread()...
Only other comment is that you shouldn't have to pass the buffer to
__write_super() - I'd just move the bch_bio_map() call to when the struct
cache/cached_dev is being initialized (or rip it out and initialize the bvec by
hand) and never touch it after that.

Yeah that is a hassle - that's why in the 4k superblocks patch in bcache-dev I
added that "disk_sb" struct - it owns the buffer and random other crap. You
could read that patch for ideas if you want, look at how it transfers ownership
of the disk_sb.
