And, the last thing, distributor kernels are often compiled for i586 to

and these users would like to have VMI (speculation :-). Which would
include a forceful patch to Kconfig to have the VMI option available
with CONFIG_M586.
We can reenable all these things eventually. We hacked them out to get
around some of the awful hacks required for these older machines, (F00F
bug protection, broken APICs, etc).
