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

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).
