The kernel module, certainly. The userspace part probably
runs faster in 32-bit mode. The only reason why one would
want to run it in 64-bit mode is to allow more RAM...

Well, the first step would probably be to virtualize a 32-bit CPU.
Once that that is done, it ought to be rather simple to add support
for 64-bit virtualization.
