Some people may potentially have "business class" cpus though. Ex: servers. I would guess that Xeons probably have this or any higher end desktop cpu.
Though I would guess that if the 3G radio is not true (no one has proven this as true or false yet) then for it to work over ethernet it probably requires an Intel card and maybe even a specific line of motherboards. At the low level, the chip needs to know how to talk to the NIC and the NIC needs to know to talk back.
Essentially it has to silently use it without interfering with the actual OS instance so that takes some coordination at the lower level. So even if they don't figure out an easy way to disable it, they may be able to figure out what hardware configurations make it not work. Though that won't do any good for anyone that has already bought and setup their hardware.
