[PATCH v2 0/3] Support DAX for device-mapper dm-linear devices

[Toshi Kani]

This patch-set adds DAX support to device-mapper dm-linear devices
used by LVM.  It works with LVM commands as follows:
 - Creation of a logical volume with all DAX capable devices (such
   as pmem) sets the logical volume DAX capable as well.
 - Once a logical volume is set to DAX capable, the volume may not
   be extended with non-DAX capable devices.

The direct_access interface is added to dm and dm-linear to map
a request to a target device.

The patches replace v1 series at:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/snitzer/linux.git/log/?h=wip

v2:
 - Fix issue with partitioning.
 - Change to add DAX flag to a request queue.
