i386 subarchitectures: boot page table flags

Hi all,

Does any of the i386 subarchitectures actually care about the Accessed and Dirty bits in the bootup pagetables (the ones that start at pg0, used before the mm is initialized?) If not, I'd like to speed up booting by setting those bits at initialization time.
