A backported dkms module isn't feasible, bcache comes with work
on the block layer.  Raring users should the kernels I've linked:

Latest is this one
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.11-saucy/
And there's a bit of docs here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds

Other options for raring users: upgrade to saucy
http://askubuntu.com/questions/12909/
Or build your own kernel
