DAX imposes additional requirements to a device. Add bdev_dax_supported() which performs all the precondition checks necessary for filesystem to mount the device with dax option. Also add a new check to verify if a partition is aligned by 4KB. When a partition is unaligned, any dax read/write access fails, except for metadata update.
