Hi Darrick,

Now, I am trying to introduce these new helpers and have some questions:
1) There are five testcases related to old dax implementation, should we 
only convert them to new dax implementation or make them compatible with 
old and new dax implementation?

2) I think _require_xfs_io_command "chattr" "x" is enough to check if fs 
supports FS_XFLAG_DAX.  Is it necessary to add 
_require_scratch_dax_iflag()? like this:
_require_scratch_dax_iflag()
{
	_require_xfs_io_command "chattr" "x"
}

Best Regards,
Xiao Yang
