There was discussion about this issue several months ago (intel's ml), looks people forgot to take action after the discussion. The spec owner said 64bit vector is used in protected mode. That is if OS sets it, wakeup code is called in protected mode by BIOS. So the 64-bit vector shouldn't be used.
