I think "always on" here refers to machines that *boot* with A20 enabled. In that case (after doing the "rep cmpsw" style test) the Linux kernel finds itself lucky and doesn't have to do anything. The idea being that if you boot with A20 enabled then A20 toggling isn't likely to work at all. We of course, unlike the Linux kernel, need to be able to turn A20 off for the braindead reasons that were mentioned before -- and that's probably not possible on such machines and then you just have to live with that.
