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

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.
