Let's start a discussion if /dev/kmem is worth keeping around and
fixing/maintaining or if we should just remove it now for good.

More details / findings in patch #1. Patch #2 and #3 perform minor cleanups
based on removed /dev/kmem support.

Only compile-tested on x86-64 -- good enough for discussing the general
topic (RFC).

I'll gladly take this in my char/misc tree for now, to show up in
linux-next to get some testing to see if anyone complains.

Let me know if that will help out.

Sure! I'll resend as v1 this week (also removing vwrite() from nommu code in patch #3).

Thanks
