Let's start a discussion if /dev/kmem is worth keeping around and
fixing/maintaining or if we should just remove it now for good.

More details / findings in patch #1. Patch #2 and #3 perform minor cleanups
based on removed /dev/kmem support.

Only compile-tested on x86-64 -- good enough for discussing the general
topic (RFC).

I'll gladly take this in my char/misc tree for now, to show up in
linux-next to get some testing to see if anyone complains.

Let me know if that will help out.

thanks,
