[PATCH 0/1] x86: should 32 bit processes be PER_LINUX32

From: Andy Whitcroft

While testing an x86 64 bit kernel on 32 bit userspace I noticed that I
was unexpectedly seeing x86_64 as the architecture as reported in uname.
The kernel seems to have code to detect 32 bit userspace and slam this
to i686, triggered off the personality PER_LINUX32. However 32 bit
processes do not seem to get this flag. I think this is an oversight.
The following patch attempts to fix this up.
