Subject[PATCH] Kconfig: Make config Filter access to /dev/mem default y
Recently, most company start use >=2.6.31 kernels to replace redhat kernels.
But the config "Filter access to /dev/mem" is "default n", that allows kernel
rootkit using /dev/mem again. it could access all kernel memory default. Most
administrator don't known the "Filter access to /dev/mem" is "defult N", when
he compiles the kernel, it's easily to be attacked by rootkit.
