the attached patch is a final version of the walling-off of lvmcache,
and should make the next step possible, that is, remodeling the data
representation behind the current API. The API may need to be adjusted
in the process somewhat, but hopefully not very wildly.

The version after this patch should compile and pass the testsuite
without further ado.

Yours,

PS: In case anyone already looked at the previous version of this patch,
it should be possible to get a reasonable interdiff from this one.
