  Implement policy_remove_cblock() and add remove_cblock method to the mq
  policy. These methods will be used by the following cache block
  invalidation patch which adds the 'invalidate_cblocks' message to the
  cache core.

  Also, update some comments in dm-cache-policy.h

  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.

• c6b4fcbad   dm: add cache target ... Browse Code »

  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.
