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. Signed-off-by: NDan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

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. Signed-off-by: NDan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

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.
