The DAX property, page cache bypass, of a VMA is only detectable via the
vma_is_dax() helper to check the S_DAX inode flag.  However, this is
only available internal to the kernel and is a property that userspace
applications would like to interrogate.
They have absolutely no business knowing such an implementation detail.
