It isn't difficult, but it's annoying. The SA code directly copies out 
structures that are different in size for 32 vs. 64 bit. And that's 
buried in the code in kern_sa.c. So it requires some code duplication, 
and/or ugly extra hooks.

I made a start on it once, but I can't remember where I put the code..
