Could you or someone else please explain the problem?
From rom what I have read it seems that userland acesses some bitness dependent kernel structures. Fixing this would mean to use architecture independent structures in both kernel- and userland and break existing applications.
As a user I would be satisfied if DRI is available for 64-bit applications on x86_64 and 32-bit applications do not cause the kernel to crash.

PS: I have Fedora running on a dual Opteron system with a Matrox Millenium G550, tell me if you want to test something.

Attempting to apply the OSI layers model to a real network is just like attempting to represent seven dimensions in four dimensional reality.
