The CPU will most likely run the PAE kernel just fine, its just the
unneccesary check for the pae flag that makes it hard to install
Ubuntu. Most of these affected not so old Intel CPUs have indeed 36
address bits and can run these kernels and are only missing this flag
for whatever reason (probably not even intentionally).
Proper fix would be:
* remove the check in the bootloader and just let the user decide what he wants
to boot
* remove the check in the linux-image-*.deb preinst scripts and let the user
decide what he wants to install
