The 2.6.26 merge window, part 2

<quote>
By default, /dev/mem can no longer be used to access RAM; Fedora and Red 
Hat have applied this patch for years, but now it has found its way into 
the mainline.

Looking at the latest git, the default is CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEM=n, 
which means, /dev/mem is set to promiscuous mode, contradictory to quote 
above. Ingo's commit "1f56cf1c58c81f7ecf16f5e99ac4a333d9dc9aea" seems to 
have done that.  Am I missing something?
