[RFC PATCH v2 3/8] ext2: Use dax_is_supported()

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Use dax_is_supported() to validate whether the architecture has
virtually aliased data caches at mount time. Print an error and disable
DAX if dax=always is requested as a mount option on an architecture
which does not support DAX.

This is relevant for architectures which require a dynamic check
to validate whether they have virtually aliased data caches.

[RFC PATCH v2 4/8] ext4: Use dax_is_supported()

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Use dax_is_supported() to validate whether the architecture has
virtually aliased data caches at mount time. Mount fails if dax=always
is requested as a mount option on an architecture which does not support
DAX.

This is relevant for architectures which require a dynamic check
to validate whether they have virtually aliased data caches.

OK, yeah, this is better than v1. Feel free to add:
