It hasn't been regularly tested for some time, it is not shipped by any
vendor afaik, and all guest ports with a significant ongoing development
effort behind them now support PAE and/or 64-bit modes. Further, a test of
the waters on xen-devel back in March did not elicit much of a response in
support of non-pae. Removing it gets rid of a column on the test matrix (a
column which isn't tested by anyone anyway) and goes some way to reduce our
ifdef maze in many memory-management source files.
