Isn't request_mem_region() enough? i.e. it seems
request_mem_region_exclusive() assumes no DAX, at least in theory?

This is fine for now, but I think we're going to end up with a
continuum of solutions to this problem based on the platform and the
device. Some ADR platforms have firmware that takes actions like
flushing caches on a "power going away" signal. Other platforms have
cache management instructions that we can use on either a per-i/o or
per REQ_FUA/FLUSH request. Hmm, with this being in the memory map by
default I think this poses a challenge for VIVT caches and aliased
accesses? We can revisit this when arm support shows up.
