(FWIW, it made it into Fedora long after it was introduced in RHEL...)
Anyway, Bernard Walle's request made far more sense than the crash driver, and his patch was ultimately rejected: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/16/117 From: Bernhard Walle <> Subject: Turn CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM in sysctl dev.mem.restricted Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2008 15:47:45 +0100
So I'm guessing that the crash driver, which is a read-only workaround for CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM kernels, would suffer the same fate.
