I've used LVM2 in the past, and I'm not a big fan of the extra layers
(and back then clear slowdowns).
To be honest, I won't be needing to remove a cache from a volume while
it's running, so that's not too much a concern for me.

I did a bit of reading on one vs the other, and dmcache seemed to have
more users behind it and been around longer, so I went with that.
