x86: rename CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEM to CONFIG_PROMISC_DEVMEM
Linus observed: > The real bug is that we shouldn't have "double negatives", and > certainly not negative config options. Making that "promiscuous > /dev/mem" option a negated thing as a config option was bad. right ... lets rename this option. There should never be a negation in config options. [ that reminds me of CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER, but that is for another commit ;-) ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
