This patchset adds support of per-file DAX for virtiofs, which is
inspired by Ira Weiny's work on ext4[1] and xfs[2].
Currently virtiofs (in guest kernel) accepts per-file DAX flag from FUSE
server (in host).
Currently it is not implemented yet to change per-file DAX flag inside
guest kernel, e.g., by chattr(1).
Any comment is welcome. :)
