Please do not extend it to 64-bit on i386. 64-bit variables consume more registers and enlarge the binary code. GRUB does not have to be very precise about the time, so I prefer 32-bit here for all architectures. If you have a good reason to use 64-bit except that the native representation is 64-bit, let me know.
