Quark X1000 wrongly advertises PGE. Work around this with an

Hi Dave.
In another thread with Ingo Molnar and Henrique de Moraes Holschuh the
following text was proposed.
+ /*

+ *
+ * early_init_intel will unset the X86_FEATURE_PGE flag later
+ * and __flush_tlb_all() will flush via cr3
+ */
Path submitted as "[PATCH] x86: Quark: Comment setup_arch for TLB/PGE
bugfix"
Does that work for you ?
