It's bypassable in 32-bit mode, and few UltraSparc-I based systems have a
real need for the 64-bit kernel.  Sun could have simply said "no 64-bit
kernel on US-I", but I am glad that they gave us the option.

Another mistake in reporting, I think: the infamous Pentium "CPU ID".
There was nothing new or magical about it, but it was blamed for
everything from loss of privacy to the cost of tea in china.
