OK, weird, that is what I though I had done.  Thanks for pointing it
out (I guess it was getting late :-().

OK, I have fixed up my merge resolution.  The end of that function will
now look like this:

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FS_DAX_LIMITED) && pfn_t_special(pfn)) {
		/*
		 * An arch that has enabled the pmem api should also
		 * have its drivers support pfn_t_devmap()
		 *
		 * This is a developer warning and should not trigger in
		 * production. dax_flush() will crash since it depends
		 * on being able to do (page_address(pfn_to_page())).
		 */
		WARN_ON(IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API));
		dax_enabled = true;
	} else if (pfn_t_devmap(pfn)) {
		struct dev_pagemap *pgmap;

		pgmap = get_dev_pagemap(pfn_t_to_pfn(pfn), NULL);
		if (pgmap && pgmap->type == MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX)
			dax_enabled = true;
		put_dev_pagemap(pgmap);
	}

	if (!dax_enabled)
		pr_debug("%s: error: dax support not enabled\n",
				bdevname(bdev, buf));

	return dax_enabled;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(__bdev_dax_supported);
