It doesn't matter. Chose one of these:

/proc/kcore
/dev/mem
/dev/kmem
/dev/port

If they don't exist create the /dev files with mknod, or do

# ismod destroy_bios.o

and run arbitrary code in kernel mode.

This is just a sampling, there are plenty of other ways. Root can do
anything, there is no way around it, get this into you head ;-)
