Even if allocation is done synchronously, data would be lost except on
actual pmem.  Explicit msync()s don't need MAP_SYNC, and don't require
a sync per page.

MAP_SYNC can't be allowed unconditionally, as cacheline flushes don't help
guarantee persistency in page cache.  This fixes an error in my earlier
patch "btrfs: allow MAP_SYNC mmap" -- you'd probably want to amend that.

If the virtio-pmem patch set goes upstream prior to btrfs-dax support
this will need to switch over to the new daxdev_mapping_supported()
helper.

I was planning to do changes for virtio pmem & BTRFS. I was waiting for 
DAX support for BTRFS to merge upstream.

Thank you,
