OH.  Crap, Dan's right:

XFS (pmem0p1): ddev dax = 0xffff88800304ed00 bdev = 0xffff8880480d6180
XFS (pmem0p2): ddev dax = 0xffff88800304ed00 bdev = 0xffff8880480d4380

Unless you're planning to remove partition support too, this patch needs
to be reworked so that multiple filesystems in separate partitions can
each call dax_register_holder to receive memory_failure notifications
for their partition.

/methinks this sharing is all a little scary...
