This paragraph should go first...

This paragraph second...
The reason for this ordering is to have increasingly more detail as
the changelog is read so that people that don't care about the details
can get the main theme immediately, and others that wonder why
device-dax is able to support this can read deeper.

I know you are just copying this style from whomever wrote it this way
originally, but that person (me) was wrong this should be:
pgoff = linear_page_index(vmf->vma, ALIGN(vmf->address, fault_size));
...you might do a lead-in cleanup patch before this one.

The device should already know its pagemap...
There is a distinction in dev_dax_probe() for "static" vs "dynamic"
pgmap, but once the pgmap is allocated it should be fine to assign it
back to dev_dax->pgmap in the "dynamic" case. That could be a lead-in
patch to make dev_dax->pgmap always valid.

Just needs updates for whatever renames you do for the "compound
geometry" terminology rather than subtle side effects of "align".
Other than that, looks good to me.
