Are you sure.  I'd swear I had it working a few months ago.

I use ipxe to boot my development kernels so I can compile them off on a
separate system.  It makes fixing a bug and booting in to a new kernel
really quick.

The CPU feature I'm working on supports 32-bit kernels/userspace, and
I'm trying to test it.  I don't actually need 32-bit stuff other than
for testing.
