Linus Torvalds 315227f6da DAX error handling for 4.7
- Until now, dax has been disabled if media errors were found on
   any device. This enables the use of DAX in the presence of these
   errors by making all sector-aligned zeroing go through the driver.
 - The driver (already) has the ability to clear errors on writes that
   are sent through the block layer using 'DSMs' defined in ACPI 6.1.
 
 Other misc changes:
 
 - When mounting DAX filesystems, check to make sure the partition
   is page aligned. This is a requirement for DAX, and previously, we
   allowed such unaligned mounts to succeed, but subsequent reads/writes
   would fail.
 
 - Misc/cleanup fixes from Jan that remove unused code from DAX related to
   zeroing, writeback, and some size checks.
