Al has nak'd the uaccess related changes, and I'll need to rework
those patches to move the pmem routines into lib/iov_iter.c directly.
That doesn't affect the dax_device and dax_operations work, so I'm
still looking to move forward with that change.  That reduces the set
targeting 4.12 to just the first 18 patches from this series:

Dan Williams (18):
      device-dax: rename 'dax_dev' to 'dev_dax'
      dax: refactor dax-fs into a generic provider of 'struct
dax_device' instances
      dax: add a facility to lookup a dax device by 'host' device name
      dax: introduce dax_operations
      pmem: add dax_operations support
      axon_ram: add dax_operations support
      brd: add dax_operations support
      dcssblk: add dax_operations support
      block: kill bdev_dax_capable()
      dax: introduce dax_direct_access()
      dm: add dax_device and dax_operations support
      dm: teach dm-targets to use a dax_device + dax_operations
      ext2, ext4, xfs: retrieve dax_device for iomap operations
      Revert "block: use DAX for partition table reads"
      filesystem-dax: convert to dax_direct_access()
      block, dax: convert bdev_dax_supported() to dax_direct_access()
      block: remove block_device_operations ->direct_access()
      x86, dax, pmem: remove indirection around memcpy_from_pmem()
