The dax_flush() operation can be turned into a nop on platforms where
firmware arranges for cpu caches to be flushed on a power-fail event.
The ACPI 6.2 specification defines a mechanism for the platform to
indicate this capability so the kernel can select the proper default.
However, for other platforms, the administrator must toggle this setting
manually.

Given this flush setting is a dax-specific mechanism we advertise it
through a 'dax' attribute group hanging off a host device. For example,
a 'pmem0' block-device gets a 'dax' sysfs-subdirectory with a
'write_cache' attribute to control response to dax cache flush requests.
This is similar to the 'queue/write_cache' attribute that appears under
block devices.

Require all dax-drivers to register a ->copy_from_iter() operation so
that it is clear which dax_operations are optional and which must be
implemented for filesystem-dax to operate.

Allow device-mapper to route flush operations to the
per-target implementation. In order for the device stacking to work we
need a dax_dev and a pgoff relative to that device. This gives each
layer of the stack the information it needs to look up the operation
pointer for the next level.

This conceptually allows for an array of mixed device drivers with
varying flush implementations.

In the BLOCK=n case the dax core does not need to / must not emit the
block-device-dax helpers. Otherwise it leads to compile errors.

There is no point to ask how many device-dax instances the kernel should
support. Since we are already using a dynamic major number, just allow
the max number of minors by default and be done. This also fixes the
fact that the proposed max for the NR_DEV_DAX range was larger than what
could be supported by alloc_chrdev_region().

For configurations that do not enable DAX filesystems or drivers, do not
require the DAX core to be built.

Given that the 'direct_access' method has been removed from
'block_device_operations', we can also go ahead and remove the
block-related dax helper functions from fs/block_dev.c to
drivers/dax/super.c. This keeps dax details out of the block layer and
lets the DAX core be built as a module in the FS_DAX=n case.

Filesystems need to include dax.h to call bdev_dax_supported().

Replace bdev_direct_access() with dax_direct_access() that uses
dax_device and dax_operations instead of a block_device and
block_device_operations for dax. Once all consumers of the old api have
been converted bdev_direct_access() will be deleted.

Given that block device partitioning decisions can cause dax page
alignment constraints to be violated this also introduces the
bdev_dax_pgoff() helper. It handles calculating a logical pgoff relative
to the dax_device and also checks for page alignment.

Track a set of dax_operations per dax_device that can be set at
alloc_dax() time. These operations will be used to stop the abuse of
block_device_operations for communicating dax capabilities to
filesystems. It will also be used to replace the "pmem api" and move
pmem-specific cache maintenance, and other dax-driver-specific
filesystem-dax operations, to dax device methods. In particular this
allows us to stop abusing __copy_user_nocache(), via memcpy_to_pmem(),
with a driver specific replacement.

This is a standalone introduction of the operations. Follow on patches
convert each dax-driver and teach fs/dax.c to use ->direct_access() from
dax_operations instead of block_device_operations.

For the current block_device based filesystem-dax path, we need a way
for it to lookup the dax_device associated with a block_device. Add a
'host' property of a dax_device that can be used for this purpose. It is
a free form string, but for a dax_device associated with a block device
it is the bdev name.

This is a stop-gap until filesystems are able to mount on a dax-inode
directly.

We want dax capable drivers to be able to publish a set of dax
operations [1]. However, we do not want to further abuse block_devices
to advertise these operations. Instead we will attach these operations
to a dax device and add a lookup mechanism to go from block device path
to a dax device. A dax capable driver like pmem or brd is responsible
for registering a dax device, alongside a block device, and then a dax
capable filesystem is responsible for retrieving the dax device by path
name if it wants to call dax_operations.

For now, we refactor the dax pseudo-fs to be a generic facility, rather
than an implementation detail, of the device-dax use case. Where a "dax
device" is just an inode + dax infrastructure, and "Device DAX" is a
mapping service layered on top of that base 'struct dax_device'.
"Filesystem DAX" is then a mapping service that layers a filesystem on
top of that same base device. Filesystem DAX is associated with a
block_device for now, but perhaps directly to a dax device in the
future, or for new pmem-only filesystems.
