Pankaj reports that starting with commit ad428cdb525a "dax: Check the end of the block-device capacity with dax_direct_access()" device-mapper no longer allows dax operation. This results from the stricter checks in __bdev_dax_supported() that validate that the start and end of a block-device map to the same 'pagemap' instance.
Teach the dax-core and device-mapper to validate the 'pagemap' on a per-target basis. This is accomplished by refactoring the bdev_dax_supported() internals into generic_fsdax_supported() which takes a sector range to validate. Consequently generic_fsdax_supported() is suitable to be used in a device-mapper ->iterate_devices() callback. A new ->dax_supported() operation is added to allow composite devices to split and route upper-level bdev_dax_supported() requests.

Hi Mike,
Another day another new dax operation to allow device-mapper to better scope dax operations.
Let me know if the device-mapper changes look sane. This passes a new unit test that indeed fails on current mainline.

I'd prefer to have dm_table_supports_dax come just after dm_table_get_md_mempools in the preceding dm_table section of dm.h (just above this mapped_device section you extended).
But other than that nit, patch looks great on a DM level:
