From 12e2c6926a6b03e070fc58271cf41a482de06467 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthew Garrett <matthew.garrett@nebula.com>
Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2012 09:28:15 -0500
Subject: [PATCH 06/20] Restrict /dev/mem and /dev/kmem when module loading is
restricted
Allowing users to write to address space makes it possible for the kernel
to be subverted, avoiding module loading restrictions. Prevent this when
any restrictions have been imposed on loading modules.
[labbott: Rebased again]
