Typically the test platforms I get have pretty much the minimum sane memory
configuration - my Sandy Bridge EP machine came with 32GB of memory (which
is theoretically bootable with a 32-bit kernel, but really isn't going to
be much fun to use).  So I would think that time could be spent on more
productive things than making this edac driver work on 32-bit.  My vote
is for the "depends on 64-bit" solution.
