The general problem I'm observing is nobody wants to be the first through
the minefield of building a commercial product based on a 64-bit kernel
though for many applications it seems to be a much saner solution than
a 32-bit kernel.

My use is atypical but I'm running a 64-bit kernel SMP / ccNUMA kernel
since years without major problems so we're 90% through and I'd like to
know about the missing 10% ...
