Subject: [PATCH v12 20/20] brd: Rename XIP to DAX
Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2014 17:20:52 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1414185652-28663-21-git-send-email-matthew.r.wilcox@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1414185652-28663-1-git-send-email-matthew.r.wilcox@intel.com>

From: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com>

Since this is relating to FS_XIP, not KERNEL_XIP, it should be called
DAX instead of XIP.
