There is no readq/writeq for 32bit x86.  I was using this header file
to get around that.  I freely admit that I have done 0 testing on
32bit, but it should work.  If you prefer I modify the Kconfig to only
enable this for x86_64 until such time as I test on x86_32, I will
happily submit that patch.

Thanks,
Jon
