This patch looks excessively large considering that it's just adding
to 32-bit x86 functionality which is already implemented for x86_64. I
believe it also already exists for ppc and maybe some other archs. If
it really requires this much code duplication to add the same feature
to each arch, I think some serious refactoring is called for...
