Dave,

I'm failing to understand the benefits of building mlx5 on 32 bits, and
see only disadvantages:
 * It is actual dead code without test coverage.
 * It misleads reviewers/customers by seeing code for 32 bits.
 * It adds compilation time for 32 bits platforms and "punishes" them
   for not relevant for them driver.

Why do you call removing all that as a "regression"?

 Thanks.
