statx can be used to query S_DAX. NOTE that only regular files will
ever have S_DAX set and therefore statx will never indicate that S_DAX
is set on directories.
The filesystem may not have any files so statx cannot be used.
If you reject this method of detection please provide an actual usable
alternative.
