All new hardware since Intel started supporting 64 bits on their 
Pentiums is.

Let's see it much more practical. Are all features and all ports all the 
time supported on all platforms?

I do not think so.

So, just make it a requirement for ZFS to run only on 64 bit upward.

It is not that FreeBSD does not have some kind o file system for older 
machines.
