Problem:
CAP_SYS_RAWIO has been used in a bunch of arguably inappropriate places.
Removing CAP_SYS_RAWIO from the set of possible capabilities on a system
will prevent userspace from doing things that userspace should be
permitted to do. Removing CAP_SYS_RAWIO from the places that it
currently exists will allow userspace to do too much. Replacing
CAP_SYS_RAWIO with CAP_SYS_ADMIN will prevent userspace from doing
things that it can currently do.
Solution:
Admit that CAP_SYS_RAWIO is fucked up beyond rescue. Add a new
capability with well-defined semantics.
