It is cool the kernel is built with STRICT_DEVMEM and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM, but why DEVKMEM? I think this is a surprising choice for a production kernel. Could you please confirm CONFIG_DEVKMEM is still needed for something? If there is no concrete use case, I would suggest to disable it. This also seems to be what the rest of the distro universe is doing. Best regards Ed
