Here I'm sending a patch for device mapper tests suite. With this patch,
the cache is allocated on the fast device. It performs slightly better
than dm-cache on the git-checkout benchmark:

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx>
Writecache tests used the slow device for both data and cache device -
this resulted in horrible performance.
This patch fixes it, so that the fast device is used for the cache.
