Hmm, calling the current code crap is not exactly confidence inspiring for
running 3.11 or 3.12 in production ;).

If you're in an email answering mood, any chance I could trouble you to
answer the question I posed earlier this week about the -w option to
make-bcache, its relation (or not) to SSD page size,  and how to best
configure an SSD with a page size of 8k as a cache device :)?

Thanks.
