Is there any reason we need two different ways to do it? If both of them
are as good, can we drop one and support just the other?

BTW, after reading your patch, I found there is very little difference 
between auto.c and cache_as_ram_auto.c. Most of the differences are in
the included files, can we merge auto.c and cache_as_ram_auto.c?
