to continue my experience.  I now have a kernel w/ cachefs and 
cachefilesd compiled, but when I run I get a kernel error

"CacheFiles: Failed to register: -95"

what appears to be happening is that the program opens 
/proc/fs/cachefile as fd3

it then tries

write(3, "bind", 4) and gets an -ENOTSUPPORTED returned.

any ideas?

from what I can tell this is returned in cf-bind.c and is because 
kmem_cache_alloc() fails in cachefiles_proc_add_cache().  I have no idea 
what or why.
