dm writecache: support optional offset for start of device ... Add an optional parameter "start_sector" to allow the start of the device to be offset by the specified number of 512-byte sectors. The sectors below this offset are not used by the writecache device and are left to be used for disk labels and/or userspace metadata (e.g. lvm).

dm: add writecache target ... The writecache target caches writes on persistent memory or SSD. It is intended for databases or other programs that need extremely low commit latency. The writecache target doesn't cache reads because reads are supposed to be cached in page cache in normal RAM. If persistent memory isn't available this target can still be used in SSD mode.
