The consensus from LSF was that bcache need not invent a new interface
when md and dm can both do the job. As mentioned in patch 7 this series
aims to be a minimal conversion. Other refactoring items like
deprecating register_lock for mddev->reconfig_mutex are deferred.
This supports assembly of an already established cache array:
mdadm -A /dev/md/bcache /dev/sd[ab]
...will create the /dev/md/bcache container and a subarray representing
the cache volume. "Flash-only", or backing-device only volumes were not
tested. "Create" support and hot-add/hot-remove come later.
Note:
* When attempting to test with small loopback devices (100MB), assembly
soft locks in bcache_journal_read(). That hang went away with larger
devices, so there seems to be minimum component device size that needs
to be considered in the tooling.
