Good. Do you have a handle on the reasons?
Because I'm assuming it's not /dev/{mem,kmem,port}? Because I'd really be happier if we just say "those are legacy, don't enable them at all for modern distros".
That way they'd _stay_ disabled even if somebody cannot handle the other limitations, like DMA etc.
