pre-patch-2.1.125-2 page faults during boot on my 486 UP system. It
happens when the boot messages reach this line (it's the last one in the
output - the error message is the one in the patch below):

Checking if this processor honours the WP bit even in supervisor mode...

This patch makes the kernel work (I doubt it's the correct fix but maybe
someone who knows the mm code can take it from here.)
