The 32-bit Kernel no longer exists/is no longer maintained/was not upgraded for Mountain Lion.
The unsupported models have video cards that do not have 64-bit graphics drivers available for them.
The 64-bit Mountain Lion kernel is incapable of loading the old 32-bit graphics drivers for these cards.
Thus these video cards are literally incapable of supporting Mountain Lion.
