[uml-user] x86_64 and UML

[lanas <la...@se...>]

Hi,

  There's a thing (at least one...) that I don't get.  An AMD x86_64 is
able to run 32-bits user processes.  In fact, I got from the Fedora yum
a 32-bit version of Firefox alongside the 64-bit version.

  So, since UML is a user process, shoudn't it be that it can run on a
64-bit AMD machine as is, along with a 32-bit filesystem ?

  Or is it the interface with the system )eg tap devices, etc...) that
prevents this ?

Thanks for any clarification, cheers.
