Eww.  As I said I think the right way is that the file system (or
other consumer) can register a set of callbacks for opening the device.
I have a series I need to finish and send out to do that for block
devices.  We probably also need the concept of a holder for the dax
device to make it work nicely, as otherwise we're going to have a bit
of a mess.

FYI, my series could easily accomodate that if we ever get a block
driver that actually could report such errors.
