I think we can drop 32bit support once the 64bit is there.
Thanks!

This is fine. If the x64 binaries can be built reliably and pass the tests, I 
think we can flip the switch on the default “mode” and just go with x64 
binaries. I maybe wrong, but there’s no real usecase for 32 bit binaries on 
Hyper-V.
