Noted. I've filed bug #816825 against mcelog, with a simple patch to
release the mapping right away and a reference to this bug and to your
comment above. (The simple patch solves my immediate problem at work
and should fall below the copyrightability threshold. It doesn't address
the disappearance of /dev/mem; that will require more work.)
libsmbios also depends on the /dev/mem interface at the moment.
