Hi Andreas,

Thanks a lot for your review.

Either 'Dax' or 'DAX' is fine to me because it is just the output of 
lsattr -v.
For example, xfs_io shows 'dax' instead of 'DAX':
# xfs_io -c "lsattr -v" file
[dax] file

BTW:
I just used 'Dax' to follow the current format of output(i.e. capitalize 
the first letter).

Do you want me to send v3 patch with the 'DAX'? :-)

Best Regards,
Xiao Yang
