No, that is the problem. With newer hardware, this option will be gone as 32-bit

Are you sure about this? I mean, those cores will not be able to run 32-bit kernels natively, sure, but my (maybe outdated) information is that kvm always runs guest code in "user mode" and faults on privileged instructions, which are then emulated anyway.
That's what I have been told. I will double check. Cheers, Guillaume
