It has been a few years since Oracle upstream dropped 32-bit i386 support,
so that's just one of the decisions OI has to make - track upstream as is
or fork/patch as needed to continue to support 32-bit on i386.
I believe, 32-bit should be retained. While it is of little utility
for ZFS and other huge-RAM jobs, it may be required for some netbooks,
older hardware repurposed for tests and SOHO servers, as well as for
resource-constrained testing VMs. So I'd vouch for this fork/patch
approach if this upstream is still followed.
