Hi!
qemu does compile and run on x32 hosts, but alas, its configure system fails
to enable KVM, with obvious slow results. It turns out that all that needs
to be done for full-speed goodness is a slight change to "configure".
Thus, please apply the attached patch. I haven't tested every
functionality, but at least "install amd64 Debian in a VM" does work.
(And considering how many times I installed x32 on amd64 host recently, it's
high time for this turnaround!)
Meow!
