Hi,
I made a PR 192 (https://github.com/SELinuxProject/refpolicy/pull/192)
for introducing a new boolean to disable access to raw memory devices
(/dev/mem, /dev/kmem, /dev/mergemem, dev/oldmem, /dev/port) because on
modern systems, direct access shouldn't be needed anymore. Chris
PeBenito asked to propose to this list whether instead of boolean, the
access should be removed unconditionally if it's no longer needed. I
think boolean could be useful for those systems where this is still
needed but still use latest reference policy.
