Allocate a dax_device to represent the capacity of a device-mapper instance. Provide a ->direct_access() method via the new dax_operations indirection that mirrors the functionality of the current direct_access support via block_device_operations. Once fs/dax.c has been converted to use dax_operations the old dm_blk_direct_access() will be removed. A new helper dm_dax_get_live_target() is introduced to separate some of the dm-specifics from the direct_access implementation. This enabling is only for the top-level dm representation to upper layers. Converting target direct_access implementations is deferred to a separate patch.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
