While the original submission of CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM mentions that

that's only a half of the story. The truth is that at least RHEL
has /dev/crash exactly to circumvent that /dev/mem restriction. Don't
tell me that this is better than having that sysctl entry. ;-)
I assume /dev/crash is read only
but your series still makes absolutely no sense to me...
really. Nak.
You either want this at compile time or you don't want it at all.
