Patch series refered to in [0/6] ;-) FWIW, that would probably be better
off as one mail thread - would be easier to find.

What happens is that mm_struct gets marked as 32bit/64bit at execve time
(on x86, everything else doesn't care), so this stuff becomes possible
to calculate by mm_struct alone.
