Arjan van de Ven b781ecb6a3 make /dev/kmem a config option 
Make /dev/kmem a config option; /dev/kmem is VERY rarely used, and when
used, it's generally for no good (rootkits tend to be the most common
users).  With this config option, users have the choice to disable
/dev/kmem, saving some size as well.

A patch to disable /dev/kmem has been in the Fedora and RHEL kernels for
4+ years now without any known problems or legit users of /dev/kmem.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: make CONFIG_DEVKMEM default to y]
