Description
I am creating a 3rd party open source dcache implementation and have found that there are missing calls in at least main.c for plugging in a dcache library provider, initializing a dcache provider and adding index-data to the dcache provider as it is read from the index partition. There may be other files as well that need modifications. If anyone has a provider and is willing to share the files it would be much appreciated.

Research direction
Start by auditing main.c for the missing dcache provider hooks described in the issue: provider setup, initialization, and passing index data read from the index partition. Trace the related index-reading path to identify any additional files involved. Done means a third-party dcache provider can be plugged in, initialized, and supplied with index data, with the required integration points identified.
