- For i386, allow to build the non-legacy NVIDIA drivers with PAE support
via an option, defaulting to disabled. This is tricky in two ways. First
off, while their binary part is PAE-capable since around version 285,
their build glue and wrapper only partially is. Second, for modules
built along the kernel, enabled PAE support would be picked up via the
generated opt_global.h from KERNBUILDDIR, which isn't available when
compiling modules stand-alone. Nevertheless, these source modifications
are modeled in a way so they also do the right thing when integrating a
nvidia-driver module into a kernel build.
