This is all rather ambiguous.

If dmidecode says:

Handle 0x0400, DMI type 4, 40 bytes
Processor Information
        Socket Designation: Microprocessor
        Type: Central Processor
        Family: Pentium M
        Manufacturer: Intel
        ID: [...]
        Signature: Type 0, Family 6, Model 15, Stepping 2
        Flags:
                FPU (Floating-point unit on-chip)
[...]
        Part Number: Not Specified
        Core Count: 2
        Core Enabled: 2
        Thread Count: 2
        Characteristics:
                64-bit capable

and the machine is only running a 32-bit Debian system and kernel,
would cpuinfo still say "CPU op-mode(s):        32-bit, 64-bit"?

Or does cpuinfo only mention "CPU op-mode(s):        32-bit, 64-bit"
when the OS actually running has those two modes available to it now?

Cheers,
David.
