Commit Message

Introduce a new dax_is_supported() static inline to check whether the
architecture supports DAX.

This replaces the following fs/Kconfig:FS_DAX dependency:

  depends on !(ARM || MIPS || SPARC)

This is done in preparation for its use by each filesystem supporting
the dax mount option to validate whether dax is indeed supported.

This is done in preparation for using dcache_is_aliasing() in a
following change which will properly support architectures which detect
dcache aliasing at runtime.

Fixes: d92576f1167c ("dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches")

Uh, ok. Now I see what dax_is_supported() does.

I think this should be folded into fs_dax_get_by_bdev(), which
currently returns NULL if CONFIG_FS_DAX=n and so should be cahnged
to return NULL if any of these platform configs is enabled.

Then I don't think you need to change a single line of filesystem
code - they'll all just do what they do now if the block device
doesn't support DAX....
