Yes, it passes it on to dax_direct_access, and dax_direct_access passes
it onto ->direct_access. But nothing in this series actually checks
for it as far as I can tell.

But at least in this series there is 1:1 association between the
pgmap and the dax_device so that scheme won't work. It would
have to lookup the pgmap based on the return physical address from
dax_direct_access. Which sounds more complicated than just adding
the (annoying) boilerplate code to DM.

As it is not derefences just adding a

struct iov_iter;

line to memremap.h below the includes should be all that is needed.
