Hah, I just did this two days ago!  I didn't publish it yet, but I also made
it compile both in userspace and as a kernel module.  

It's the top two commits here:

http://git.infradead.org/users/willy/linux-dax.git/shortlog/refs/heads/xarray-2018-02-12

Note this is a complete rewrite compared to the version presented here; it
sits on top of the XArray and no longer has a preload interface.  It has a
superset of the IDA functionality.
