Subject: Quick bcache benchmark

I've been very remiss in posting benchmarks; this isn't much, but if
anyone has suggestions for what they want I'll see if I can run it.

This is on an old corsair nova - bcache can go something like 10x faster
but this is what I have at home. The profile is still interesting,
though.

The benchmark is 4k random O_DIRECT reads on a 16 gb file, all in cache
- the idea is to push the b+tree.

Also, the backing device is a md raid10 - so that's working, provided
you format your cache with buckets not greater than 1 mb.

Some of the calls to kmem_cache_(free|alloc) are of course from bcache
but it looks to be under 25%.
