We have other systems where 32-bit kernel support is just remarkably ugly.
We've dropped 32-bit support for the SGI IP32 aka O2 - nobody seems to even
have really noticed that. The Sibyte systems would be good candidates to do
the same as accesses to outside the 32-bit address space are needed very
frequently.
