Oh, just to clarify, dm-cache itself can be used to cache a pv, sitting
between the raw device and lvm; it's just that lvm will not support setting
that up, you would have to do that directly with dmsetup... I posted an
inquiry on that topic back in December:

It was pretty much confirmed that it would work, it would just be a rather
manual process.
