Ugh, really? I hope not, that would be unfortunate. Perhaps are you
using libndctl / libdaxctl rather than going to /sys/class/dax
directly? Those have shipped backwards compatibility for a while now,
so applications using those libraries should not notice the switch to
the /sys/bus/dax ABI. The only other open source application I could
find that had /sys/class/dax dependencies was fio, but I fixed that up
years ago as well.

This is based on a branch I have with Christoph's recent dax reworks.
I have a test merge of that pushed out on my libnvdimm-pending branch
if you want to give it a try.
