Yes i will not forget them and i will try to get more config build
to be sure there is not issue. I need to register a tree with the
rand-config builder but i lack place where i can host a https tree
(i believe this is a requirement).

I can move it as last patch in the serie but it is needed for ODP RDMA
convertion too. Otherwise i will just move that code into the ODP RDMA
code and will have to move it again into HMM code once i am done with
the nouveau changes and in the meantime i expect other driver will want
to use this 2 helpers too.

I explained that this is needed for the ODP RDMA convertion as ODP RDMA
does supported DAX today and thus i can not push that convertion without
that support as otherwise i would regress RDMA ODP.

Also this is to be use by nouveau which is upstream and there is no
reasons to not support vma that happens to be mmap of a file on a file-
system that is using a DAX block device.

I do not think Dan had any comment code wise, i think he was complaining
about the wording of the commit not being clear and i proposed an updated
wording that he seemed to like.

Cheers,
Jérôme
