Bug#390862: -bigmem version of xen kernels is really needed
What about idea not to *add* pae versions of xen kernels, but to *replace*
non-pae versions with pae versions?
Rationale:
- not increase in archive size or linux-2.6 package build time,
- this will improve compatimility with other distros (consider scenario
when running FC or RHEL in domU; these distros do ship only pae xen
kernels, according to
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-xen-devel/2006-December/000998.html)
- pae kernels are ok for any x86 machines; slowdown caused by enabling pae
on machines with less than 3.%G of memory, if any at all, is hardly
measurable on machines where using xen makes sence (anyone using xen on
Pentium-I with 128M of ram?)
