Can you please CC me on these patches in the future?  I also don't care whose
patches end up fixing this, but I want to make sure we end up in a world where
the "select FS_IOMAP" just happens directly for FS_DAX in fs/Kconfig so that
I can get rid of the unnecessary #ifdefs in fs/dax.c for CONFIG_FS_IOMAP.
