It's a bit early for this. Before building a kernel, try your hand at building and installing bcache-tools. Building the kernel is more time consuming, and you'll need bcache-tools installed before the kernel so that it gets picked up for your boot. Once that's done, have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild Experimental 3.10 kernels will also appear sometime next week[1]. Assuming they have bcache enabled, you don't really have to built it yourself, you just need to deal with experimental releases and the chance of trouble. That's enough to let you play with bcache. Converting your installation to bcache is not something I'd recommend to someone who has never done this sort of hacking, because if the kernel turns out to be unstable you'll be stuck with it to access your data.
