You  can  access  the  contents  of  the  bcache  volume without using a cache
partition  at all. All you'll need is a kernel that supports bcache and one or
two  commands  from  the  terminal.  I don't have time to go into details, but
probably it will be something like:

echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/sda3/bcache/running

(Taken  from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bcache, you may want to look
there   or  at  https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/bcache.txt  for  more
information.)
