Okay, thanks!

Yes, at the start of each dax_iomap_iter, the buffer is page aligned.
However, the underlying dax_copy_from_iter is allowed to return partial
results, causing the subsequent 'while' loop within dax_iomap_iter to
continue at not page aligned address. I ran into the situation when I
played around dax_copy_from_iter, not sure in reality, partial result is
legitimate, just thought to issue a warning should the situation happen.

I'll look into refactoring pmem_clear_poison().
