No, it's a hardware-level implementation used by more than just Linux.  I 
just happen to use Linux almost exclusively, so I haven't run into it 
with other OSes.  For example, NetWare 5.1 (or maybe 6) required machines 
that had PAE functionality, even if the machine had no memory over 4 GB.

Which meant the minimum requirement was a Pentium Pro or P-II, the first 
platform that introduced PAE.  It's been around for a long time.
