Both Grub and Linux's implementation of ext4 expect the superblock to
be at offset 1024 bytes from the beginning of the block device.

>From looking at Documentation/bcache.txt, the problem is that bcache
works much like LVM or device mapper.  That is, you have to create the
file system on /dev/bcacheN.  That simplies that grub needs to
understand bcache, which as far as I understand, it doesn't today.
