2013-03-20dm cache: avoid calling policy destructor twice on errorHeinz Mauelshagen
If the cache policy's config values are not able to be set we must set the policy to NULL after destroying it in create_cache_policy() so we don't attempt to destroy it a second time later.

2013-03-20dm cache: detect cache_create failureHeinz Mauelshagen
Return error if cache_create() fails. A missing return check made cache_ctr continue even after an error in cache_create() resulting in the cache object being destroyed. So a simple failure like an odd number of cache policy config value arguments would result in an oops.

2013-03-01dm: add cache targetJoe Thornber
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.
