The reason for panic is incorrect: I think > (although not sure) a 32-bit rootfs userland will work. A 32Bit UML kernel can run 32Bit users, a 64Bit UML kernel can only run 64Bit userland. We have no 32Bit compat layer on x86_64.

Again, if SUBARCH=x86 works too I'll happily merge it. But as of now it breaks existing setups.
