How does HMM enforce that? Because the kernel should not allow *any*
memory management facility to arbitrarily fail direct-I/O operations.
That's why CONFIG_FS_DAX_LIMITED is a temporary / experimental hack
for S390 and ZONE_DEVICE was invented to bypass that hack for X86 and
any arch that plans to properly support DAX. I would classify any
memory management that can't support direct-I/O in the same
"experimental" category.
