Bug Description
In Hardy, the CONFIG_DEVKMEM setting was explicitly disabled. This should stay off for Intrepid and Jaunty.
Reproducer:
sudo dd if=/dev/kmem of=/dev/null bs=4k count=1
Expected results:
dd: opening `/dev/kmem': No such device or address
Results on Intrepid and Jaunty:
dd: reading `/dev/kmem': Bad address
