Hi Dan,
this series decouples the DAX from the block layer so that the
block_device is not needed at all for the DAX I/O path.
Changes since v1:
- rebase on latest v5.16-rc
- ensure the new dax zeroing helpers are always declared
- fix a dax_dev leak in pmem_attach_disk
- remove '\n' from an xfs format string
- fix a pre-existing error handling bug in alloc_dev
- fix a few whitespace issues
- tighten an error check
- use s64/u64 a little more
- improve a few commit messages
- add a CONFIG_FS_DAX ifdef to stub out IOMAP_DAX
- improve how IOMAP_DAX is introduced and better document why it is
added
