I took some time to try out bcache, on an x86 Dell PC with OCZ Agility 3 
SSD.

The good news is that once I had applied various workarounds, thing seems 
to work as expected, both with 2.6.34 and with an updated 3.1 branch.

I had to make a few modifications to get going, and then more to enable 
the various debug options.

The most awkward problems seem to be the result of 32-bit architecture, 
and I think are highlighted by building as a module.

I'll follow-up this email with the patches (based on bcache-3.1 branch), 
though I don't consider them to be long-term solutions; they show the 
changes I made.

I some cases I've proposed a better solution, but thought I'd raise them 
here for discussion first.
