As there seems to be no significant outstanding concern about dax on xfs at this point, remove the scary EXPERIMENTAL warning when in use. (dax+reflink is still unimplemented, but that can be considered a future feature, and doesn't require a warning for the non-reflink usecase.)
The original concern was that dax-reflink could not be implemented without ABI regressions. As far as I can see that concern has been put to rest by the proposed patches. Am I wrong? So, if we're committed to not breaking past promises I think this change can be made out-of-order from when the reflink support patches land. Acked-by: Dan Williams <redacted> ...but I'm also fine with waiting for the final reflink merge.
