Please don't top post and please use the new list address, ok? :)

IMO, I second your opinion. And as addition, I think it's worth to
check /proc/cpuinfo too  in "address sizes" field

NB: I was thinking, if in x64, it is operating in full 32 bit mode
(not hybrid one), it is supposed to yield 32 bit address too, right?
