x86 versus 64 bit emulation complexity

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 629 bytes --]

This is a general question about the complexity of emulating a 32 bit x86
environment compared to a 64 bit environment. What are the differences
between the two types. Does one require much more code/complexity to emulate
compared with the other?

That's not really on-topic for this list, unless you have a specific
question about Xen.
