I'm 64-bit impaired myself.
Is that in the boot messages? Could you find it there?

How about /proc/cpuinfo? Are there any tell-tales there?
Like mine says "Pentium III (Coppermine)" and I know that's
a 32-bit IA32 (or 36 or whatever-the-heck, sue me) cpu.
Just put together a compendium mapping all CPU+stepping
data to instruction-width and data-width for all known
processors.

Can't be any worse than Windows-version detection. :-(
