Hi sonypi (ex-)maintainers ;-)
drivers/char/Kconfig lists SONYPI as being !64BIT, however, there seem
to be sony users with x86_64 [1] around. Is it just caution (it's also
marked EXPERIMENTAL) or is it definitely known to break on 64bit?

Indeed, I have had (private) reports about it working on x86_64 too.

Frankly I don't recall anymore. The 64 bit restriction wasn't there from
the beginning, it was added by a patch from someone 2 or 3 years ago.
git doesn't seem to have the history for that, maybe old bk does...
