OK, but a monolithic dm-writecache.c is no longer useful to me.  I can
drop Arnd's gcc warning fix (with the idea that Ingo or Steve will take
your __branch_check__ patch).  Not sure what the dm_bufio_client_create
fix is... must've missed a report about that.

ANyway, point is we're on too a different phase of dm-writecache.c's
development.  I've picked it up and am trying to get it ready for the
4.18 merge window (likely opening Sunday).  Therefore it needs to be in
a git tree, and incremental changes overlayed.  I cannot be rebasing at
this late stage in the 4.18 development window.

Thanks,
Mike
