It's useful to know that the kernel is running in 32-bit or 64-bit
mode.  E.g. We can decide if perf tool is running in compat mode
from this info.

This patch adds a global variable "kernel_is_64_bit", it's initialized
when a session setups environment, its value is decided by checking the
architecture string.
