For now I think we should just refuse to do anything if someone tries
to configure ipsec with 32 bit tools on a 64 bit machine.

I'm fine with your point, and it would be a good choice to inform user about
this behavior other than just creating non-working SA and SP for user.

It might be better to try to revive
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/157118/focus=157122

which adds full compat support.
