Re: [PATCH v2 0/4] dax: require 'struct page' and other fixups

While this looks like a really nice cleanup of the code and removes
nasty race conditions I'd like to understand the tradeoffs.

This now requires every dax device that is used with a file system
to have a struct page backing, which means not only means we'd
break existing setups, but also a sharp turn from previous policy.

Unless I misremember it was you Intel guys that heavily pushed for
the page-less version, so I'd like to understand why you've changed
your mind.
