    mm, dax: introduce pfn_t_special() · 785a3fab

    In support of removing the VM_MIXEDMAP indication from DAX VMAs,
    introduce pfn_t_special() for drivers to indicate that _PAGE_SPECIAL
    should be used for DAX ptes. This also helps identify drivers like
    dccssblk that only want to use DAX in a read-only fashion without
    get_user_pages() support.
    
    Ideally we could delete axonram and dcssblk DAX support, but if we need
    to keep it better make it explicit that axonram and dcssblk only support
    a sub-set of DAX due to missing _PAGE_DEVMAP support.
