Would it be possible to merge this patch directly before 3.15 is being
released since kent don't seem to care about bugs in bcache or maybe he
does but very selectively ?

Also it would be great that stable trees will be fixed.

Eventually I would suggest to mark bcache as an experimental thing since
it's really not ready for production, just take a look at the bcache
mailing list to see why. At least people won't be disappointed when
they'll use bcache and see ton of koops.

Thanks.
