I feel like this is maybe missing the point. These things seem clear to
me:

1. Loading 64-bit kernels on 32-bit UEFIs is a useful feature to have
and I'm glad it was added.

2. AFAICT, the patch was not intended to break loading 32-bit kernels on
64-bit systems (and also what would be the point of such a change?), but
if it was, I don't understand the reasoning behind doing this.

3. Of course booting a 64-bit kernel would work, but why should we be
pushing updates that break existing installations due to what seems to
be either an unintended consequence, or a "computer says no" type error
even though the kernel is perfectly capable of booting. The error is
misleading at best.

As such, I feel like this issue still needs to be fixed.
