	Third possibility : we declare 32 bit userspace on 64 bit
kernel as not supported and advise users to get a 64 bit
userspace. The number of bug report on that issue would suggest that
very few users are in this case.

I think that this is not actually an option since
powerpc64 is all 32-bit userspace.
Maybe some other arch-es are like this also (?).

	Then, I assume that the powerpc64 must be using a magic
version of iwconfig to configure wireless interfaces, because I only
ever got one other bug report on the issue. They should have sent the
patch to Johannes, because now I know about their unauthorised version
of iwconfig.
