:> amd64: Add kernel support for 64-bit virtual page tables.
:> WARNING: This change removes support for 32-bit vpagetables.

:What is the implication of this warning?

I undid that one. Jordan originally changed the vpagetable feature
to use 64 bit page table entries on both x86_64 and i386. This broke
i386 in more ways than one (the lack of atomic ops on 64 bit pte's,
for example), so I changed it to use 'long' which is 32 bits on i386
and 64 bits on amd64. That means the i386 code remains compatible
with older vkernels.
