In support of allowing device-mapper to compile out idle/dead code when
there are no dax providers in the system, introduce the DAX_DRIVER
symbol. This is selected by all leaf drivers that device-mapper might be
layered on top. This allows device-mapper to conditionally 'select DAX'
only when a provider is present.

I would have thought you'd want to replace the select of DAX with
a select of DAX_DRIVER?

With the driver selecting both there's no need for the core to select
DAX, because all the DAX drivers have done it already.

cheers

Thanks, yes, I'll fix that up.
