Or s390 kvm (not that this has to be exhaustively maintained).

This introduces an extra check for khugepaged path. I don't know
enough about TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER_DAX, but I assume this is ok?
What would have happened previously if khugepaged tried to collapse
this memory?

This adds an extra check along the fault path. Is it also safe to add?

I assume vma_is_temporary_stack() and vma_is_dax() is mutually exclusive.

Will shmem_file() ever be true in the fault path? Or is this just an
optimization?
