<uapi/linux/stat.h>:
 * Note that the flags marked [I] correspond to generic FS_IOC_FLAGS

<uapi/linux/fs.h>:
#define FS_DAX_FL 0x02000000 /* Inode is DAX */

The DAX one can be the same value as FS_DAX_FL, the placement (after
STATX_ATTR_VERITY, instead of before) seems to confirm this intention.

Not that I care too much, the important thing is to have distinct values.
Thanks,
Miklos
