Looking over these, most are really simple one-liners, and nothing sticks
out as being overly complicated. Kent, do you have any plans to maintain
the
in-kernel bcache?
Yeah - these patches are all fine, go ahead and pull.
Great, thanks.

I may start doing maintainence again at some point (but if there's someone
willing to step up and take over and do a good job of it, I'd gladly hand
things
off)
We use this in production internally, so I'll keep collecting patches and 
may ask for pulls from time to time.  
As long as we have a path into mainline for stability fixes, at least that's
better than before.

Thanks Eric for collecting these. I've reformatted some of them a bit, not
sure if that's github crappery, or if they came like that. It's pushed out
now.
You're welcome.  It could be github crappery, however, these were 
copy-pasted and cleaned up in various ways such that they merge into 
3.17-rc1 and then merge forward into 4.1.15 which we build against---so 
who knows about formatting, whitspace, and other minor issues.  I'm just 
glad they are on their way to 4.5 with stable@ Cc's!

BTW, can someone suggest an alternate git host with less crappery?
