Revert is easier.

No, that commit does _look_ pretty suspect to me...

Confirmed, revert fixes it. You see how it moves fix_processor_context
around #ifdef CONFIG_X86_32 block? And how people forget 32-bit
machines exist? Aha.

Which brings me to .. various people do automated testing of
kernel. Testing 32-bit kernel for boot, and both 32-bit and 64-bit for
boot and suspend would be very nice. The last item is not hard, either:

sudo rtcwake -l -m mem -s 5

...should take 10 seconds or so.
