     dm-treat-alloc_dax-eopnotsupp-failure-as-non-fatal.patch

Subject: dm: treat alloc_dax() -EOPNOTSUPP failure as non-fatal
Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2024 09:46:28 -0500

In preparation for checking whether the architecture has data cache
aliasing within alloc_dax(), modify the error handling of dm alloc_dev()
to treat alloc_dax() -EOPNOTSUPP failure as non-fatal.
