We've supported the wacky "64-bit platform, 32-bit UEFI" devices
(e.g. Bay Trail) ever since the first Jessie release. If you grab a
multi-arch netinst or DVD image, it will boot via 32-bit but let you
start a 64-bit installation and *also* will detect the 32-bit platform
and install the correct version of grub.
