TCG_OVERSIZED_GUEST, where 32-bit host running 64-bit guest cannot run the guest except in
round-robin mode. It's not *that* much of a support burden, since we're not going
to
eliminate round-robin mode.
But I do question whether we need to support 64-bit guests on 32-bit hosts at all.
Retaining 32-bit on 32-bit allows arm32 to emulate i686, which I suspect, but have no
proof, is the limit of what users actually want.
