The /sys/class/dax compatibility option has shipped in the kernel for 4
years now which should be sufficient time for tools to abandon the old
ABI in favor of the /sys/bus/dax device-model. Delete it now and see if
anyone screams.
Since this compatibility option shipped there has been more reports of
users being surprised by the compat ABI than surprised by the "new", so
the compat infrastructure has outlived its usefulness. Recall that
/sys/bus/dax device-model is required for the dax kmem driver which
allows PMEM to be used as "System RAM".
The following projects were known to have a dependency on /sys/class/dax
and have dropped their dependency as of the listed version:
- ndctl (including libndctl, daxctl, and libdaxctl): v64+
- fio: v3.13+
- pmdk: v1.5.2+
As further evidence this option is no longer needed some distributions
have already stopped enabling CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT.

Changes in v2:
- Update the changelog to list userspace packages that have dropped
their dependency and note that some distributions have already dropped
this option.
- Delete the sysfs-class-dax ABI entry.

-What: /sys/class/dax/
-Date: May, 2016
-KernelVersion: v4.7
-Contact: nvdimm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-Description: Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem
- DAX (CONFIG_FS_DAX). It allows memory ranges to be
- allocated and mapped without need of an intervening file
- system. Device DAX is strict, precise and predictable.
- Specifically this interface:
-
- 1. Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given
- page size (pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.
-
- 2. Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about
- what fault scenarios are supported.
-
- The /sys/class/dax/ interface enumerates all the
- device-dax instances in the system. The ABI is
- deprecated and will be removed after 2020. It is
- replaced with the DAX bus interface /sys/bus/dax/ where
- device-dax instances can be found under
- /sys/bus/dax/devices/
