Elie De Brauwer 639dfde82f mem.4: Add CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM
Since 2.6.26 the CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEM options limits the physical
addresses which can be accessed through /dev/mem.

Elie De Brauwer 463f35e1c9 mem.4: Correct /dev/port group in example
mem.4 mentions that group for /dev/port should be set to 'mem'
However, all other files (/dev/mem and /dev/kmem) use the kmem
group in their examples and on my system /dev/port belongs to
kmem. Hence the 'mem' group was probably a typo:

    edb@lapelidb:~$ cat /etc/group | grep -i mem
    kmem15:
    edb@lapelidb:~$ ls -al /dev/port
    crw-r----- 1 root kmem 1, 4 Jan  2 10:00 /dev/port

Michael Kerrisk 9173d897ee fd.4: Fix floppy disk device names
The naming convention shown in the page was ancient.
Now, the page is consistent with Documentation/devices.txt
(where it is noted that "The use of the capital letters
D, H and E for the 3.5" models have been deprecated, since
the drive type is insignificant for these devices"
