I think this was discussed already, but I couldn't find the exact
answer - was x86_64 (AMD64, EM64T) port supposed to be able run 32-bit
guests (domain1+) on a 64-bit host (domain0)?

I ask this because I have a very broken driver for an ADSL PCI card
(source driver, not binary, luckily) - it does not like SMP at all,
and I am guessing it does not like 64-bit any more. So unless I come
up with a way to use that card on a 64-bit host, I can't upgrade.
