** 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!
