I can't find anything in the Kconfig limiting DAX to 32-bit.  But
then again the existing code has divisions like this, so the compiler
is probably smart enough to turn them into shifts.

This happens once (or maybe three times for XFS with rt and log devices)
at mount time, so I see no need for a ratelimit.
