Indeed. Looks like the
"if (!ti->type->dax_copy_to_iter) {"
clause was to allow mixed dax targets in dm, such as dcss, fuse and
virtio_fs targets. These targets either don't export
.dax_copy_from/to_iter, or don't need to.
And their .dax_direct_access don't check poison, and can't repair
poison anyway.

I think these targets may safely ignore the flag. However, returning
-EOPNOTSUPP is helpful to catch future bug, such as someone add a
method to detect poison, but didn't add a method to clear poison, in
that case, we fail the call.

Dan, do you have a preference?

thanks!
