    block, dax: move "select DAX" from BLOCK to FS_DAX · ef510424
    Dan Williams authored
    For configurations that do not enable DAX filesystems or drivers, do not
    require the DAX core to be built.
    
    Given that the 'direct_access' method has been removed from
    'block_device_operations', we can also go ahead and remove the
    block-related dax helper functions from fs/block_dev.c to
    drivers/dax/super.c. This keeps dax details out of the block layer and
    lets the DAX core be built as a module in the FS_DAX=n case.
    
    Filesystems need to include dax.h to call bdev_dax_supported().
