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.
