I was hoping that we could hoist the tristate enum bits out of XFS and
simply share them across the three DAX filesystems, but I have no idea
if that will work with a filesystem that hasn't been converted to the
new mount option parsing api.  I'm betting no. :/

(FWIW see enum xfs_dax_mode and struct constant_table dax_param_enums in
fs/xfs/xfs_super.c in the for-next tree.)

Hm, otoh I don't see any recent posting of an ext4 mount parsing
conversion series, so yeah this is probably as good as can be done until
that happens.
