Well, we could possibly compare notes; here are some scripts that I've been
using:
http://djwong.org/docs/dmcache-tools.tar.gz

dm-format-blockdev and dm-load-cache are the key ones.  It also comes with udev
rules to (I hope) make the cache win any /dev symlink wars, and automount the
cache when all component devices are found.  They work for me, but beware they
might reflash your BIOS with rude poetry also. :)
