Comment 8 for bug 1072311

The CPU will most likely run the PAE kernel just fine, its just the unneccesary check for the pae flag that makes it hard to install Ubuntu. Most of these affected not so old Intel CPUs have indeed 36 address bits and can run these kernels and are only missing this flag for whatever reason (probably not even intentionally).

Proper fix would be:
* remove the check in the bootloader and just let the user decide what he wants to boot
* remove the check in the linux-image-*.deb preinst scripts and let the user decide what he wants to install
