We need to do something about this. From this latest pull, looks like all should go to stable: 5b1016e62f74c53e0330403025954c8d95384c03 9aa61a992acceeec0d1de2cd99938421498659d5 dbd810ab678d262d3772d29b65844d7b20dc47bc 8b326d3a2a76912dfed2f0ab937d59fae9512ca2 e5112201c1285841f8b565ece5d6ae7e0d7947a2 a664d0f05a2ec02c8f042db536d84d15d6e19e81 c5aa4a3157b55bdca18dd2a9d9f43314470b6d32 9e5c353510b26500bd6b8309823ac9ef2837b761 bcf090e0040e30f8409e6a535a01e6473afb096f 501d52a90cbe652b41336c206ff0e95799d5a9b5 8e0948080670f6330229718b15a6a1a011d441ce 60ae81eee86dd7a520db8c1e3d702b49fc0418b5 913dc33fb2720fb5f979011664294137ddd8b13b 6b708de64adb6dc8319e7aeac922b46904fbeeec 400ffaa2acd72274e2c7293a9724382383bebf3e d83353b319d47ef8cce82467da6a25c2d558253f bf0c55c986540483c34ca640f2eef4c3314388b1 c9a78332b42cbdcdd386a95192a716b67d1711a4 2452cc89063a2a6890368f185c4b6d7d8802175b 25abade29616d42d60f9bd5e6a5ad07f7314e39e 5b25abade29616d42d60f9bd5e6a5ad07f7314e3 789d21dbd9d8889e62c79ec19585fcc97e42ef07 0781c8748cf1ea2b0dcd966571103909528c4efa (from oldest to newest). And that's just from 3.16 to 3.17-rc3, going all the way back to 3.10 would be a lot of work. If there's anyone that cares about bcache on stable kernels (and actually use it), now would be a good time to pipe up.
Then if it's too much work, it just confirmed what was asked previously: bcache is still experimental so mark it such for stable kernels. I wouldn't have used bcache in that case. Thanks
