Yes, I have a bunch of bcache patches that will be queued up for the
next stable releases, after the kernels that come out tomorrow.  I had
to wait for them to be in a released kernel of Linus's before I could
merge them.

If, in the future you want them to go in faster, and you can "vouch" for
them, just let me know, I can queue them up when they hit Linus's tree.

thanks,
