This is against some 2.6.28 kernel:

Well, if I look at the definition of MCI_STATUS_VAL as (1UL<<63),
something tells me: "Hey, only use me on 64-bit hosts!" But I have no
clue about details of this stuff, and from a second glance at it is
seems to include at least some parts that are valid on 32-bit as well.
