** Description changed:

- TBD
+ The LPA (large physical address) extension is an optional extension
+ currently supported by the Cortex-A7, Cortex-A12, and Cortex-A15
+ processors. The main generic Ubuntu armhf kernel is not supposed to run
+ on older 32-bit processors or 32-bit processors that don't have this
+ extension.
+ 
+ So let's drop the non-LPAE flavor.
+ 
+ We currently provide two armhf flavors: generic (LPAE disabled) and
+ generic-lpae (LPAE enabled). Change the generic flavor to be LAPE-
+ enabled and remove the generic-lpae flavor.
