Is it worth avoiding includes based on config? Probably not.

Fair enough, but from local code point of view, does it make sense to check this
if !kaddr as we won't use this.

Back to earlier comment on virt_addr as a void *. Definitely looking like
that would be more accurate and simpler!  Also not much point in computing
virt_addr unless kaddr is good.

If you aren't going to do anything with it for !pfn, move it under the if (pfn).

If we were to make this 

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEV_DAX_IOMAP))

etc can we avoid the ifdef stuff above and let dead code removal deal with it?
Might need a few stubs - I haven't tried.
