The patch was part of a larger series that I was working on, and I just 
wanted to flush out that dependency. Christoph review and acked it, it 
was by no means a sneaking in of a patch.

So calm down. Is there a bug? The previous code was crap, having hidden 
returns in macros is horrible. The upstream bcache code has been 
effectively unmaintained for more than a year, and THIS patch is now a 
problem? Get real.
