thanks!

definitely a good question. personally, I'd prefer to test for
CONFIG_64BIT only, looking at this hairy

  /* Detects 64 bits mode */
  #if (defined(__x86_64__) || defined(__x86_64) || defined(__amd64__) \
         || defined(__ppc64__) || defined(__LP64__))

and remove/rewrite a bunch of other stuff. but the thing with cleanups
is that they don't fix anything, while potentially can introduce bugs.
it's more risky to touch the stable code. /* well, removing those 'ghost'
identifiers is sort of OK to me */. but that's just my opinion, I'll
leave it to you and Greg.
