block: enable dax for raw block devices
If an application wants exclusive access to all of the persistent memory
provided by an NVDIMM namespace it can use this raw-block-dax facility
to forgo establishing a filesystem. This capability is targeted
primarily to hypervisors wanting to provision persistent memory for
guests. It can be disabled / enabled dynamically via the new BLKDAXSET
ioctl.
