recommended way to add ssd cache to mdraid array

I'm setting up a new nas box (7x2TB on a IBM M1015 8 port sas card flashed to 
9211IT mode) and was thinking about adding an SSD cache to it. I've been 
following bcache's development, but it seems to have stalled a bit.

I've got a 240G Samsung 470/810 that I'd like to use for this.

Also I was wondering if anyone has any tips on the best (or their preferred) 
way to set up a "big" raid6 array with a single filesystem. I'm probably going 
to stick with XFS, but I'm not married to it, if there's something better for 
a big media (audio, video, disk images, backups, etc) volume I'd love to hear 
about it.
