To clarify, the *Debian* PAE kernel package in question was built with
these kernel options enabled.  Enabling PAE in .config before doing a
kernel build does not automatically enable SMP and the other things
mentioned--they are all separate options.

Just making this clear so someone doesn't read this and assume "PAE" =
"SMP" in the Linux world in general.
