Virtio pmem provides asynchronous host page cache flush
mechanism. We don't support 'MAP_SYNC' with virtio pmem 
and ext4.

Shouldn't there rather be some generic way of doing this? Having
virtio_pmem_host_cache_enabled() check in filesystem code just looks like
filesystem sniffing into details is should not care about... Maybe just
naming this (or having a wrapper) dax_dev_map_sync_supported()?

Thanks for the feedback.

Just wanted to avoid 'dax' in function name just to differentiate this with real dax.
But yes can add a wrapper: dax_dev_map_sync_supported()

Thanks,
