LPAE is not supported by all Cortex-A class cores, for instance Cortex-A9 does not support LPAE, if you have boards using such cores, then this would result in a kernel that would not boot on these platforms. Can that be a problem with the shmobile_defconfig?

Can that be a problem with the shmobile_defconfig? It definitely is, therefore I am going to drop this patch as it would break things.
