I think that's the best compromise.  If someone wants this on 32-bit
then they're free to get it working.  That "someone" will actually be
able to test it, which you clearly won't be doing!

However, please do check that the impact of this patchset on 32-bit's
`size vmlinux' is minimal.  Preferably zero.
