I don't think S_DAX flag is really ambiguous. It is just that in
CONFIG_FS_DAX=n + CONFIG_DEV_DAX=y case, the compiler is not able to figure
out some calls behind IS_DAX() are dead code and so the kernel won't
compile / link. Or is there any other problem I'm missing?

If I'm indeed right, then please tell this in the changelog and don't talk
about abstract ambiguity of S_DAX flag.

As much as I'd prefer to solve link-time problems with stubs instead of
relying on dead-code elimination, I can live with split macros so once the
changelog is settled, feel free to add:
