I just finished updating both the bcache (off 2.6.34) and the
bcache-3.1 branches with the latest stable code.

Also got cgit set up and working, finally. Need to stick a link in the
wiki to it..

I still haven't figured out how to pack a git repository so cloning it
doesn't take > 80% of my linode's ram, but cloning works for me so I'm
done screwing with it for now.

I was able to make a clone by cloning Linus' repository on github,
then adding your repository as a remote then fetching, in case that
helps anyone.

Yeah, that's one way around that issue. I really should just flip on
cloning over http... git's memory consumption is kind of infuriating.

The bcache branch compiles but hasn't been tested. I don't expect any
issues though, it's pretty close to what I normally develop/test on.

The bcache-3.1 branch still doesn't quite compile, but it's pretty
close - I'm try and get a working version pushed tomorrow, I did boot
a linux 3.1 + bcache kernel at one point...

I made a patch using the bcache-3.1 branch that does apply to the 3.0
tree as well FYI. Haven't attempted to compile it yet but will do in a
bit, see what happens. Do you need to set CONFIG_BCACHE=y in the
kernel config?

I think the block layer's been fairly quiet since ~2.6.39 or .38, the
patches in the bcache-3.1 tree should move back that far without any
issues. But it won't compile on any of them just yet.. I think the stuff
that's left is trivial but it's late and I have to be up too early.

And yeah, you'll need CONFIG_BCACHE.
