I left out patches 1 and 2, but applied the rest and tested.  This
passes xfs tests in the following configurations:
1) MKFS_OPTIONS="-m reflink=0" MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o dax"
2) MKFS_OPTIONS="-m reflink=0"
   but with the added configuration step of setting the dax attribute on
   the mounted test directory.

I also tested to ensure that reflink fails when a file has the dax
attribute set.  I've got more testing to do, but figured I'd at least
let you know I've been looking at it.

Thanks!
Jeff
