I was too optimistic when I thought I can easily measure the difference in
performance degradation. Now I think it's not so easy... Actually it's
impossible without a special test-suit.

In general PAE kernel works without problem (at least on my system), so I guess
we can propagate this change to other systems.

Sincerely,
