All four patches look correct to me. I assume the movement of the 
flask_security_commit_bools inside the #ifdef is made possible by
the xlat.lst parsing, but didn't look too closely at how that was
done.

Re: what goes in release - I agree that #4 would be nice but I wouldn't
push too hard to make an exception for it. The users of the XSM interface
would primarily be toolstack and related domains where a requirement to
be 64-bit should not be too restrictive (not to say this shouldn't be
fixed, of course).
