It is possible for x86_64 systems to lack the NX bit either due to the
hardware lacking support or the BIOS having turned off the CPU capability,
so NX status should be reported. Additionally, anyone booting NX-capable
CPUs in 32bit mode without PAE will lack NX functionality, so this change
provides feedback for that case as well.
