Yeah, I noticed that mounting ext4 with "-o dax,data=journal" is not
allowed, enabling data journaling on a dax mount should be stopped too.

Better to add new entry in alphabetical order, I know there're already
some out-of-order entries there, but this one is not affected and better
to stop adding new ones :)

I'm a bit confused here, just from the test code, it's not obvious to me
how DAX is turned off. I looked at the kernel code and there's a comment
saying: "Update inode->i_flags after EXT4_INODE_JOURNAL_DATA was
updated. E.g. S_DAX may get cleared / set." But isn't the per-inode dax
flag proposal rejected?

Anyway, some comments to explain how is DAX being turned off would be
good here.

Hmm, why do we need nodelalloc, need some comments too.

Let's use "$here/src/t_...", Christoph pointed this out in another
thread so I pay attention to it in review now :)
