A word of warning for anyone else who wishes to try this: while running
an amd64 kernel on an i386 architecture installation is supported by
Debian, it may not be supported by whatever third-party applications
you're running.  Some applications use the kernel's reported architecture
to decide whether they should attempt to run a 64-bit or a 32-bit
version of their programs -- and if the kernel mismatches the Debian
architecture, they may try the wrong one.
