Not sure if I'm just misunderstanding the bit ops here, but aren't we 
trying to set the UXL field to 1 (for UXL=32)?  That should be a bit 
field set op, not just an OR.

Additionally: this isn't really an issue so much with this patch, but it 
does bring up that we're relying on someone else to have set UXL=64 on 
CONFIG_COMPAT=n systems.  I don't see that in any spec anywhere, so we 
should really be setting UXL in Linux for all systems (ie, not just those with
COMPAT=y).
