What would the typical failure cases be in practice?

The failure will be a user not seeing their file operating in DAX mode when
they expect it to.

I discussed this with Dan Williams today.  He and I agreed the flag is new
enough that we don't think users have any released code to the API just yet.
So I think we will be ok.

Ok, thanks for verification. I've applied it locally in my tree, it
will be pushed out later today with other work..
