When I had this problem in the past I just used && !64BIT.
How is this new option different?
Same reason why we have CONFIG_BROKEN_ON_SMP separate from CONFIG_SMP.
AFAIK I2O got fixed too. Do you have any evidence that it is really
broken on 64bit?
i2o_config did not.  Just read the code, it's obvious...

Although the documentation does say it need fixes, it really doesn't. It is broken if used with 64-bit DMA addresses, but it does work on 64-bit systems.
