I contemplated that, but I'd really like to see btrfs support
something more native.  Bcache is way too low-level for me and strikes
me as inefficient as a result.  Plus, since it sits UNDER btrfs you'd
probably lose all the fancy volume management features.

ZFS has ssd caching as part of the actual filesystem, and that seems
MUCH cleaner.
