I use lvmcache (on ssd) for / (on spinning rust) which works fine.
But it writes the cache to the harddrive on every boot. In order to
debug (and maybe fix it), I think these tools (esp. cache_check) might
be useful...

Thanks for the patch! I decided to expand the comment a bit:

;; Doesn't build with --enable-testing due to a function name collision
;; with glibc. Fixed upstream. TODO: Enable tests when 0.9.0 is released.

Apart from that, LGTM, so I pushed your patch as commit
a68430712fe623a61ba5eecfb8aa4547079a96c2.
