dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches
The DAX code accesses the underlying storage through the kernel's linear mapping, which may not be cache-coherent with user mappings on ARM, MIPS or SPARC. Temporarily disable the DAX code until this problem is resolved. The original XIP code also had this problem, but it was never noticed.
