Notes about this commit:
* These methods are based on pmem_dax_ops from drivers/nvdimm/pmem.c
* dev_dax_direct_access() is returns the hpa, pfn and kva. The kva was
newly stored as dev_dax->virt_addr by dev_dax_probe().
* The hpa/pfn are used for mmap (dax_iomap_fault()), and the kva is used
for read/write (dax_iomap_rw())
* dev_dax_recovery_write() and dev_dax_zero_page_range() have not been
tested yet. I'm looking for suggestions as to how to test those.

A few trivial things noticed whilst reading through.

I'd move these two into the loop - similar to what you have
in other cases with more local scope.

Though given it's in just one place, just put these inline next

BTW thanks for looking at the dev_dax_iomap part of the series. These are
basically identical to the two standalone-famfs series' I put out last year,
but have IIRC not gotten review comments before this.
