2013-03-20dm cache: policy change version from string to integer setMike Snitzer1-0/+2
Separate dm cache policy version string into 3 unsigned numbers corresponding to major, minor and patchlevel and store them at the end of the on-disk metadata so we know which version of the policy generated the hints in case a future version wants to use them differently.

2013-03-01dm: add cache targetJoe Thornber1-0/+124
Add a target that allows a fast device such as an SSD to be used as a cache for a slower device such as a disk. A plug-in architecture was chosen so that the decisions about which data to migrate and when are delegated to interchangeable tunable policy modules. The first general purpose module we have developed, called "mq" (multiqueue), follows in the next patch. Other modules are under development.
