The API looks OK. Some comments WRT the implementation below.

I think the big kerneldoc comment should stay with
dax_layout_busy_page_range() since dax_layout_busy_page() will be just a
trivial wrapper around it..

Maybe it would be more understandable to use
unmap_mapping_pages(mapping, start_idx, end_idx - start_idx + 1);
below and avoid all this rounding and special-casing.

Should the 'end' rather be LLONG_MAX?
Otherwise the patch looks good to me.
