Apologies for the delay in responding - I was on vacation and got back
yesterday.

I agree, I’m unsure if 32-bit support is needed here - as you pointed out in an
earlier email, the man page says:
“The feature is only available in 64-bit mode, even though there is theoretically
space in the PAE PTEs.”

I was hoping that Dave/Thomas would review and clarify. I will remove the
32-bit support from this patchset and send out a v7.

Thanks,
Aruna
