Impact: allow /dev/mem mmaps on non-PAT CPUs/platforms Fix mmap to /dev/mem when CONFIG_X86_PAT is off and CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is off mmap to /dev/mem on kernel memory has been failing since the introduction of PAT (CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=n case). Seems like the check to avoid cache aliasing with PAT is kicking in even when PAT is disabled. The bug seems to have crept in 2.6.26. This patch makes sure that the mmap to regular kernel memory succeeds if CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=n and PAT is disabled, and the checks to avoid cache aliasing still happens if PAT is enabled.
