Yes, I'm sure. You can create the partitions, but they will not show
up as devices which you can use due to a limitation in the bcache
kernel driver.

Patches [0] are out there to make this work, but they are not in
bcache yet.

Hence my thread if this support can be added.

Ah OK, it's because bcache driver only allocates one minor number to
the device... Could be done indeed.
