    Dynamically enabling DAX requires that the page cache first be flushed
    and invalidated.  This must occur atomically with the change of DAX mode
    otherwise we confuse the fsync/msync tracking and violate data
    durability guarantees.  Eliminate the possibilty of DAX-disabled to
    DAX-enabled transitions for now and revisit this for the next cycle.
