** Description changed:

  Since 10.10, dmesg does not happen to mention that NX emulation is
  active on CPUs _with_ the NX bit, but without the PAE kernel.
+ 
+ SRU justification: this is a regression from Lucid which clearly showed
+ when NX-emu was enabled in dmesg, and the change is small.
+ 
+ TEST-CASE:
+ boot a 32bit non-PAE kernel on a CPU with NX hardware. dmesg should report:
+  Notice: NX (Execute Disable) protection cannot be enabled in hardware: 
non-PAE kernel!
+  NX (Execute Disable) protection: approximated by x86 segment limits
+ instead of just:
+  Notice: NX (Execute Disable) protection cannot be enabled: non-PAE kernel!
