[K12OSN] 64 bit advantages of K12LTSP

IMHO, just using the 64 bit kernel for AMD64/x86x64 is just fine.   
Only a few apps are worth compiling for 64 bit, just the kernel since  
most apps don't really take advantage of it and in some cases then  
aren't as widely supported and used as the 32 bit ones. The big thing  
about 64 bit kernels is the native support for larger memory spaces  
(instead of the ugly hacks on 32 bit OSes).
This also applies to any apps that would use more than 4 GB of memory  
per process.
