Ubuntu Wily has bcache-tools 1.0.8 release. There are no major changes to bcache itself [1] save fixes for working in systemd pre-boot environments, which for Trusty won't matter. There are a number of package fixes related to 1.0.8 introduction of a bcache_register program introduced for systemd preboot support. However I don't see any compelling reason to use 1.0.8 in Trusty over what's already in Vivid and tested (1.0.7).
This results in a no-change backport of the bcache-tools package in Vivid into Trusty. The MAAS and Ubuntu Server team have been testing the package from Vivid for some time and have not found any major issues in the core function of the package. The most common item brought up is that the interface (sysfs) for releasing devices from bcache is somewhat awkward. I've started on a script[2] aimed to help and will push that upstream as it becomes tested and used.
