Thanks. Given how close we are to Beta2, I think committing this will have 
to wait until after.

Correct.

If you can create a patch, then feel free to file the BR. If not, there's 
not much point.

For a potential patch. It could be worth trying if just creating a symlink 
686-bigmem -> 486 in the modules directory will work. If it does that would 
reduce future maintenance overhead.
Of course it won't work if you need modules we currently don't include.
