It does not. However, it doesn't really matter for a cache device.

The cache device is written to rather slowly, and only needs to have
low latency access on reads.

Most current gen SSDs such as the Intel X25-M, Indilinx Barefoot, etc.
also support garbage collection which reduces the need for TRIM. It's
important that you align block on a 4k or 8k boundary though. (OCZ
recommends 8k for the Vertex drives.) I think that most current drives
have between a 128k and 512k erase block size, which is another
alignment point you can use.
