Subject: [PATCH] Change default for STRICT_DEVMEM
Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2008 14:18:36 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1226089116-7700-1-git-send-email-kernel1@cyberdogtech.com> (raw)
The recommendation for STRICT_DEVMEM is to select Y,
however the option currently defaults to N. Have the option
default to Y since it is recommended.

of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
