Enable PAE for Desktop/UNR kernels and add soft-NX for non-PAE
Registered by

We need a -desktop (or -pae) kernel for Desktop (and UNR) installs. All modern hardware has PAE capabilities (along with XD/NX capabilities). We need to start using PAE to gain the >3G RAM access as well as the NX bit. For the non-PAE kernels, we should implement the ExecShield "soft nx" protections to gain NX on non-PAE kernels:
