Good news is this should be supported as of xen-unstable c/s 17855. The bad
news is I'm reluctant to backport for the next 3.2 release as the required
changes to 32-on-64 argument translation are rather subtle. I guess we can
see how things go in xen-unstable and backport in a while if we sufficiently
care.
