I added this paragraph:

This happens with devdax devices that started as pmem and got converted
to devdax. I'm not sure whether the offset is due to label storage, or
page tables. Dan?

...which is also insufficient, but perhaps Dan or somebody else from the
dax side can correct this.

Changed to void * - thanks

I've removed all the unnecessary casts in this function - thanks
for the catch

Thanks - yeah that would be better than just taking it out...
