	When reading the dm cache metadata from disk, ignore the policy hints unless they were generated by the same major version number of the same policy module. The hints are considered to be private data belonging to the specific module that generated them and there is no requirement for them to make sense to different versions of the policy that generated them. Policy modules are all required to work fine if no previous hints are supplied (or if existing hints are lost).

2013-03-01	dm: add cache target	Joe 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.
