Oh, I meant to say, the UNSW/Gelato folks have been proposing a more
abstracted pagetable interface which should hide all the architectural
details of the pagetable from the core kernel.  That's probably the
right way to go to make PAE/non-PAE runtime switchable (their actual
goal is to make efficient use of the myriad ia64 pagetable modes, which
makes PAE rather trivial by comparison).  But I don't know what the
state of those patches is - I don't think they've been posted in a while.
