This series fixes a few issues that I found with DM's handling of DAX
devices. Here are some of the issues I found:
* We can create a dm-stripe or dm-linear device which is made up of an
fsdax PMEM namespace and a raw PMEM namespace but which can hold a
filesystem mounted with the -o dax
Currently the code in dm_dax_direct_access() only checks whether the target
type has a direct_access() operation defined, not whether the underlying
block devices all support DAX. This latter property can be seen by looking
at whether we set the QUEUE_FLAG_DAX request queue flag when creating the

Remove __bdev_dax_supported and change to bdev_dax_supported that takes a
bdev parameter. This enables multi-device filesystems like xfs to check
that a dax device can work for the particular filesystem. Once that's
in place, actually fix all
Currently device_supports_dax() just checks to see if the QUEUE_FLAG_DAX
flag is set on the device's request queue to decide whether or not the
device supports filesystem DAX. This is insufficient because there are
devices like PMEM namespaces in raw mode which have QUEUE_FLAG_DAX set but
which
This stub was added so that we could use dm-snap with DM_TYPE_DAX_BIO_BASED
mode devices. That mode and the transition issues associated with it no
longer exist, so we can remove this dead code.

The DM_TYPE_DAX_BIO_BASED dm_queue_mode was introduced to prevent DM
devices that could possibly support DAX from transitioning into DM devices
that cannot support DAX.
For example, the following transition will currently fail:
dm-linear: [fsdax pmem][fsdax pmem] => [fsdax pmem][fsdax raw]

The function return values are confusing with the way the function is
named. We expect a true or false return value but it actually returns
0/-errno. This makes the code very confusing. Changing the return values
to return a bool where if DAX is supported
