The dax is only supported on pfn type pmem devices since commit
f467fee48da4 ("block: move the dax flag to queue_limits"). Trying
to mount DAX filesystem fails with this error:
mount: : wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/pmem7,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
dmesg: EXT4-fs (pmem7): DAX unsupported by block device.
Fix the problem by adding dax flag setting for the missed case.
