arch: consolidate CONFIG_STRICT_DEVM in lib/Kconfig.debug
Let all the archs that implement devmem_is_allowed() opt-in to a common definition of CONFIG_STRICT_DEVM in lib/Kconfig.debug.

If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
|
||||
of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
|
||||
access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
|
||||
be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
|
||||
enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
|
||||
use due to the cache aliasing requirements.
|
||||
|
||||
If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
|
||||
userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and data regions.
|
||||
This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common users of
|
||||
/dev/mem.
|
||||
|
||||
If in doubt, say Y.
