ARM: implement CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM by disabling access to RAM via /dev/mem
There are very few legitimate use cases, if any, for directly accessing system RAM through /dev/mem. So let's mimic what they do on x86 and forbid it when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is turned on. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org>
