Two comments when looking at this now:

Why don't you declare 'end_pfn' inside the for() block? That way you don't
have to pass the variable as an argument to for_each_entry_pfn(). It's not
like you need end_pfn anywhere in the loop body, you just use it to cache
loop termination index.

I find it quite tricky that in case we pass zero page / empty entry into
dax_[dis]associate_entry(), it will not do anything because
dax_entry_size() will return 0. Can we add an explicit check into
dax_[dis]associate_entry() or at least a comment there?
