I wonder if it would make sense to convert 32-bit 6.x to use 64-bit-happy
datastructures for the xfoo versions of the structures.  We go through an
externalization stage for all x structures anyway, and likely bzero() the
structure, so 32-bit binaries would truncate the kernel values, which
result in often useful numbers.  Byte order might or might not be an
issue, I suppose.
