It should be that simple. The Pentium-M is a supported CPU, but lacks
the PAE flag. That's it.
We don't pleed for support for non-PAE kernels, non-PAE builds, not
wasting 5 minutes of build time. Just extend the if (flags & PAE) check
to also check if it is a Pentium-M.
Yes the pentium-M is a rare beast and old. Yes intel should be slapped
for having this bug (PAE wasn't that common then?). I don't think IBM
can be hold accountable, they choose the best CPU for that time. Desktop
CPU's where to power hungry, and besides not having the FLAG, the CPU is
still quite good.
p.s. sorry for the wrong enter there :)
