[Bug 1474863] Re: bcache device files aren't available in initramfs

If /dev/bcacheN does not exist, it is either a kernel problem
(missing/broken driver?) or perhaps a bug in bcache-tools that is
missing to put some necessary kernel modules, sysctls, or other files
into initramfs. udev is not responsible for creating device nodes,
that's the kernel's job. It *is* responsible for creating the /dev/disk
/by-uuid/ symlinks to it, but this part was fixed in 222.

Ubuntu's kernels have bcache as a module, so I figure this isn't being
loaded somehow. bcache has an /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/bcache
hook, but I figure that somehow doesn't work. Reassigning.

** Package changed: systemd (Ubuntu) => bcache-tools (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: bcache-tools (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => New
