When confronted with a mixture of CPUs, some of which support 32-bit
applications and others which don't, we quite sensibly treat the system
as 64-bit only for userspace and prevent execve() of 32-bit binaries.
Unfortunately, some crazy folks have decided to build systems like this
with the intention of running 32-bit applications, so relax our
sanitisation logic to continue to advertise 32-bit support to userspace
on these systems and track the real 32-bit capable cores in a cpumask
instead. For now, the default behaviour remains but will be tied to
a command-line option in a later patch.

nit: swapping the two sides of this expression has the potential
for slightly better code, resulting in better performance on
these asymmetric systems. Not a big real, but since this lands
on the fast path on vcpu exit, I'll take every bit of optimisation.
Thanks,
M.
