But they can have FS_XFLAG_DAX set.

:-( agreed.

FWIW without these patches an inode which has encrypt or verity set is already
turning off DAX...  So we already have a '-o dax' flag which is not "always".

:-(

Unfortunately the 'always' designation kind of breaks semantically but it is
equal to the current mount option.

ok...

ok...
