I couldn't work out what set of commits I needed to revert to get a
clean revert, so I just reverted the commits and hacked out the
revert failures to what looked ok. Feel free to send me a clean set
of reverts, and I'll replace these patches with them... :)

Test it and push the reverts however you like. I don't care how the
reverts get to 4.3 - I'll be carrying them locally in my trees from
now and so my development and testing is now unaffected by the bugs
that are in the 4.3 code. If you aren't going to push them for 4.3
then I'd suggest that they go to linus along with the rest of the
XFS changes in this series.
FWIW, I'm quite happy to host all the pending DAX changes in a
public git tree and ask for it to be included in linux-next. It's
probably a good idea to do this because it makes it much easier to
co-ordinate merges when we are touching multiple subsystems (ext4,
xfs, dax, mm, etc). And it will help prevent the "patches molder on
the list until Andrew hoovers them up" problem and so prevent this
situation from happening in the future...
Cheers,
Dave.
