Small style issue, I'd prefer a pair of functions:
fs_dax_register_holder(struct dax_device *dax_dev, void *holder, const
struct dax_holder_operations *ops)
fs_dax_unregister_holder(struct dax_device *dax_dev)
...rather than open coding unregister as a special set that passes
NULL arguments.

Does dax_get_holder() have a lockdep_assert to check that the caller
has at least a read_lock? Please add kernel-doc for this api to
indicate the locking context expectations.
The rest of this looks plausibly ok to me, but it would be up to xfs
folks to comment on the details. I'm not entirely comfortable with
these handlers assuming DAX, i.e. they should also one day be useful
for page cache memory failure notifications, but that support can come
later.
