Nothing - it's just that all syscall that pass strucutures which differ 
between 32bit and 64bit code need to have a translation.

The translation layer is very thin and easy to write for most syscalls, but
a bit harder (if you want to avoid copy & pasting the whole kernel code) for
some others.

Quentin Garnier is working on it, but not finished yet. Amd64 has the same 
problem executing i386 binaries.
