I threw these patches in to my own test setup and was able to hit the
following with generic/198:

I'll spend some time today trying to figure out what's going on, but thought
I'd let you know early in case you were already debugging this.
My test setup is a pair of 4 GiB PMEM partitions in a KVM guest, one for the
TEST_DEV and the other for the SCRATCH_DEV. I'm setting "-o dax" with
MOUNT_OPTIONS:
# ./check generic/198

MKFS_OPTIONS -- /dev/pmem0p2
