x86: move devmem_is_allowed() to common mm/init.c
Impact: cleanup The function is identical on 32-bit and 64-bit configurations so move it to the common mm/init.c file. Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> LKML-Reference: <1236160001.29024.29.camel@penberg-laptop> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
