Do not enable CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM by default
Larry Finger reports: "My PowerBook G4 Aluminum with a 32-bit PPC processor fails to boot for the 4.4-git series". This is likely due to X still needing /dev/mem access on this platform. CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM is not yet safe to turn on when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=y. Remove the default so that old configurations do not change behavior.
