The removal of the ->copy_{to,from}_iter() operations set the
precedent that dax ops should not be needed when the operation can be
carried out generically. The only need to call back to the pmem driver
is so that it can call nvdimm_clear_poison(). nvdimm_clear_poison() in
turn only needs the 'struct device' hosting the pmem and the physical
address to be cleared. The physical address is already returned by
dax_direct_access(). The device is something that could be added to
dax_device, and the pgmap could host the callback that pmem fills in.
Something like:

...then DM does not need to be involved in the recovery path, fs/dax.c
just does dax_direct_access(..., DAX_RECOVERY, ...) and then looks up
the pgmap to generically coordinate the recovery_write(). The pmem
driver would be responsible for setting pgmap->recovery_write() to a
function that calls nvdimm_clear_poison().
This arch works for anything that can be described by a pgmap, and
supports error clearing, it need not be limited to the pmem block
driver.
