Sure, this is a good baseline to incrementally improve.

Where the observation is that when device-dax is told that the device is
going away it invalidates all the active mappings to that single
character-device-inode. The hope being that in the fsdax case all the
dax-mapped filesystem inodes would experience the same irreversible
invalidation as the device is exiting.
