That's not how I read the summary you link to. I may be wrong but I think
it is saying that the ia32 NX support is based on the x86_64 NX support
except it only works when using PAE. That doesn't mean that the x86_64 mode
only works with PAE enabled. Other ia32 NX patches exist which don't depend
on PAE but they use ugly segmenting tricks and only work for certain memory
layouts.
