Going to require a whole new hardware set as well, plus the burn in
time while its tested before it becomes useful in production.

Being able to mix 32 and 64 userlands is probably just as useful at
the moment.  Means I can run a well test solid 32bit userland dom0,
and do all the flaky 64bit userland testing in reusable domUs.
