Does this go for Banias as well as Dothan Pentium Ms? My understanding is that Dothan actually supports PAE but was potentially crippled-by-chipset (but if so does that really touch cpuflags?) in common designs, while the original Banias supposedly completely lacks it [at least doesn't advertise it]... and the NX support that this is supposed to really be about came in with Dothan (which I assume will report under cpuflags in all circumstances?).

I have a couple Dell D600s which are Banias so would be interested to know what the real deal is. (Not thrilled to play guinea pig more after treating the hardware as bricked for a year when it *was* supported because I expected the rtl8180 driver to work, but if no one else steps up...)

Interesting that, per wikiality, Microsoft apparently made this same exact decision for Windows 8 and Fedora has apparently been enforcing it "where supported by the hardware" since c. 2009 but searching re: the Ubuntu issue never turned up screaming and rending of clothes from that camp. (Does Fedora do something more sane here?)
