Subject: [PATCH] Restrict /dev/mem and /dev/kmem when module loading is
6a91557
 restricted
6a91557
6a91557
Allowing users to write to address space makes it possible for the kernel
6a91557
to be subverted, avoiding module loading restrictions. Prevent this when
6a91557
any restrictions have been imposed on loading modules.
