I had expected that to really fix the refcount problem that fs/dax.c would need to start taking real page references as pages were added to a mapping, just like page cache. This looks ok to me, and passes my tests. So given I'm still working my way back to fixing the references properly I'm ok for this hack to replace the more broken hack that is there presently.
