An update on this: I've done a bisect, with the following result.

    dm: Call proper helper to determine dax support
    
    DM was calling generic_fsdax_supported() to determine whether a device
    referenced in the DM table supports DAX. However this is a helper for "leaf" device drivers so that
    they don't have to duplicate common generic checks. High level code
    should call dax_supported() helper which that calls into appropriate
    helper for the particular device. This problem manifested itself as
    kernel messages:
    
    dm-3: error: dax access failed (-95)
    
    when lvm2-testsuite run in cases where a DM device was stacked on top of
    another DM device.
