In support of removing the VM_MIXEDMAP indication from DAX VMAs, introduce pfn_t_special() for drivers to indicate that _PAGE_SPECIAL should be used for DAX ptes. This also helps identify drivers like dccssblk that only want to use DAX in a read-only fashion without get_user_pages() support. Ideally we could delete axonram and dcssblk DAX support, but if we need to keep it better make it explicit that axonram and dcssblk only support a sub-set of DAX due to missing _PAGE_DEVMAP support.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
