Understand the point, adding the test for cache enabled still cannot 
cover the disable cache part though:-). Please give me couple days to 
think about it. Maybe will first have a new patch to test the cache 
part, likely through the debugfs as you suggested; then amend this 
series to complete the cache disabling test part. Thanks for the insight.
