Knoppix has 32-bit userspace and both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels, right?

AFAIK the XFRM user interface of the kernel is CPU architecture dependent.
On a 64-bit kernel you _must_ use 64-bit userspace for XFRM. Thus the
combination 64-bit kernel / 32-bit emulation / 32-bit userspace
will never work with XFRM.
