With the new caching system, does the write cache get written to the L1 or L2 now?

You have the option to cache only read data, to cache only written data, to cache both read & written data on both L1 and L2. Write-defer, in which data is first written to cache, only to be written to drive after some time, is only possible with L1 cache, though I would like to see it with L2 too like Intel SRT's Maximum mode.
