The only thing broken about IS_DAX are the code elimination games based on the CONFIG_* flags. Remove those and just add proper stubs for the dax routines and everything will be fine for now until we can kill that inode flag.
IS_FSDAX and IS_DEVDAX on the other hand are a giant mess that isn't helping anyone.
