This makes sense as a default, apparently if you don't have PSE36 but
you have phys_bits > 32, Windows complains:

target-i386: Add Core Duo Definition
This patch adds a CPU definition for the Core Duo CPU. I tried to
resemble the original as closely as possible and document what features
are missing still. This patch enables the use of a recent CPU definition
on 32 bit platforms.
It also fixes two issues that went along the line:
- invalid xlevel in core2duo spec
While looking though the CPUIDs again, I found that xlevel is actually 8.
- non-PSE36 support
The CoreDuo CPUID does not expose the PSE36 capability, but CPUID
0x80000008 is tied to 36 bits. This broke Windows XP installation for
me, so I just set it to 32 bits width when PSE36 is not available. The
original CPU also exposes 32 bit width in CPUID 0x80000008.

As long as it's overridable I guess it's fine...
