Seems we could have DISABLE_PG_G in GENERIC and have Bosko's fix compiled in for CPU models >= 586 (the 486 isn't affected, AFAIK) only if DISABLE_PG_G is NOT specified in the kernel config file ? I.e. GENERIC disables use of 4M pages but does not need the extra 3MB of RAM, while a custom kernel without DISABLE_PG_G needs the extra memory but contains the "fix" ...
