That is quite interesting.
btw, something out of topic, I once had some preliminary attempt
to add DAX support to brd since brd works as ramdisk and brd-dax
could have the following benefits:
- DAX can be tested without PMEM devices;
- ramdisk fses can be accessed without double page cache;
- initrd use cases then can work well without extra page cache
and maybe it can perform better than initramfs (without unpack
process).
I wrote some hack stuff but don't have more time working on it...

I'm not sure if others are interested in topic though.
It would be helpful to get rid of all brd page->index use cases
first.
Thanks,
Gao Xiang
