all my local builds are breaking now too with this :(

Was there a proposed patch anywhere for this?

I've disabled CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PMEM which allowed me to de-select those two:

# CONFIG_DAX is not set # CONFIG_FS_DAX is not set

and now it at least builds.

In order to avoid such breakage in the future, I'd suggest you guys to run randconfigs on your stuff before sending, especially if the Kconfig ifdeffery is not a trivial one like the DAX maze.
