I think this is not such a great idea - it's sort of like bragging
that a car is a True Vehicle.  The Alpha is a 64-bit-only
architecture, so anything that runs on the Alpha is by definition a
64-bit OS.  This isn't a selling point, so why bring it up?

The only platform I know of where this distinction might be
interesting is the MIPS R4000 and later processers, which actually
have 32- and 64-bit modes.   Maybe Jonathan Stone or Per Fogelstrom
can speak to the state of the implementation on those CPUs...
