Oh... I see you cleanup what I was talking about later in the series.

For my taste I don't like to see tech-debt added and then removed later
in the series. The whole series would appear to get smaller by removing
the alloc_dax() returning NULL case from the beginning, and then doing
the EOPNOTSUPP fixups.

...repeat this comment for patch 10, 11, 12.
