Er... can't this be done without burning another feature bit by:

	if (xfs_has_dax_always(mp) || (!xfs_has_dax_always(mp) &&
				       !xfs_has_dax_never(mp))) {
		...
		xfs_warn(mp, "DAX IS EXPERIMENTAL");

changing this conditional in this way will also fail dax=inode mounts on
reflink-capable (i.e. default) filesystems, no?

Correct. My original patch tests fine, and still handles the reflink and dax
incompatibility. The new suggested logic is problematic.

I think that both your proposed patch and Darrick's suggestion have this problem.

"mount -o dax=inode" makes your new xfs_has_dax_inode(mp) true, and in that
conditional, if the filesystem has reflink enabled, mount fails:

       missing codepage or helper program, or other error

       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail or so.
