I think just throwing RMAP inhere is rather confusing.

So maybe I'd word the whole log as something like:

This new function is a variant of mf_generic_kill_procs that accepts
a file, offset pair instead o a struct to support multiple files sharing
a DAX mapping.  It is intended to be called by the file systems as
part of the memory_failure handler after the file system performed
a reverse mapping from the storage address to the file and file offset.

Otherwise looks good:

No need for the ifdef here, having the stable declaration around is
just fine.

No need for the IS_ENABLED as CONFIG_FS_DAX can't be modular.
A good old #ifdef will do it.
