(Get the code!)
sudodus, your description around the 36-bit physical addressing seems a little bit confused: "If you don't get 36 bits with a PAE kernel, your CPU has no PAE capability." - the Linux documentation states that if you can boot a PAE kernel, then your CPU has PAE. If you don't have PAE, then the kernel won't even boot.
If you think that there are some non-PAE Pentium M models (which I have not seen reports of anywhere) and want to identify them then report the family, model and stepping, you can see these in dmesg ("CPU:" line) But at the moment I suspect every Pentium M can do PAE (have you seen any reports otherwise?)
