    Interesting...

    Seems like I should change this... And I did not realize I was inherently
    changing a bit definition which was exposed to other FS's...

    :-/

    Are there any potential users of FS_XFLAG_DAX now?

    From what it looks like, changing FS_XFLAG_DAX to FS_DAX_FL would be pretty
    straight forward. Just to be sure, looks like XFS converts the FS_[xxx]_FL to
    FS_XFLAGS_[xxx] in xfs_merge_ioc_xflags()? But it does not look like all the
    FS_[xxx]_FL flags are converted. Is is that XFS does not support those
    options? Or is it depending on the VFS layer for some of them?
