Bug#708070: Enabling x32 in amd64 kernels



As I think I've said before, my only concern about enabling x32 is
security.  It adds yet another slightly different way of making system
calls, and so long as x32 is not in Debian this could be increasing risk
to Debian users with no benefit.  (But I realise this could be a
chicken-and-egg situation!)

Dave Jones told me he is *not* running trinity tests on x32.  So I want
someone else, either upstream or in Debian, to take responsibility for
doing this and following up any kernel bugs it finds.

Ben.
