Is it possible to build bcache as a module for your current kernel ? The
code I checked out appeared to be an entire linux kernel tree from what
I could see at quick glance
When I've been building other stuff before, drbd, v2l-dvb etc I can just
build the extra modules provided I have the kernel headers (and
sometimes full source) for my running kernel
This is of course much faster, less disruptive and also allows you to do
things like build kmods
What would need to happen to make this possible, or am I just failing
into the common trap of not reviewing all the documentation proper to
asking a possibly simple question ?

Bcache needs a few changes to the generic block code. It does build as
a module, you just wouldn't be able to use the module with a stock
kernel.
