As part of adding support for STRICT_DEVMEM to the RISC-V port, Zong
provided a devmem_is_allowed() implementation that's exactly the same as
all the others I checked. Instead I'm adding a generic version, which
will soon be used.

This seems to work the other way around from the usual Kconfig chains.
In the most cases ARCH_HAS_SOMETHING selects GENERIC_SOMETHING.

Ya, it seemed kind of odd.


I believe nicer way would be to make

config STRICT_DEVMEM
bool "Filter access to /dev/mem"
depends on MMU && DEVMEM
depends on ARCH_HAS_DEVMEM_IS_ALLOWED || GENERIC_LIB_DEVMEM_IS_ALLOWED

config GENERIC_LIB_DEVMEM_IS_ALLOWED
bool

and then s/select ARCH_HAS_DEVMEM_IS_ALLOWED/select GENERIC_LIB_DEVMEM_IS_ALLOWED/
in the arch Kconfigs and drop ARCH_HAS_DEVMEM_IS_ALLOWED in the end.

There's some arches that can't be converted to the generic version, at least
not trivially, so we wouldn't drop it. I think it's still cleaner, though.
I'll send a v2.
