No Xenomai service is currently implemented in 32 bits mode. It is a ton
of work to do so, because you need to write wrappers for all the system
calls, and there are probably a handful of hundreds of them (a grep | wc
gives 433).
So, currently, it seems easier to use either a complete 64 bits or to a
complete 32 bits system, not a mix of both.
