Works for me.

Yep. I find it kind of strange to introduce that concept before it
hits Factory, but I'm fine with it as I don't see a problem.

Its not really hardware boards, but different memory configurations.
We have machines that can boot only VMs up to 2GB, so they don't
require LPAE in the guest. We have also machines that have more
physical host memory and thereby would need LPAE.

We could go with one kernel (always using the LPAE kernel) but judging
from x86, PAE has a significant performance overhead, and we're not
exactly having fast hardware at the moment. I would prefer to have
either LPAE or non-LPAE (once that possibility exists) as a choice
depending on worker configuration.

We could build both kernels and perhaps do a worker/_constraint
triggered choice?


Greetings,
Dirk
