Sorry for the late reply, as your previous reply was moved to junk box
by the algorithm...

But currently we only need to handle 'attr->flags & FUSE_ATTR_DAX'. If
other attributes need to be handled later, then we can expand this
function and give it a more generic name. But as for now, I prefer to
keep it simple.
