We have this kind of thing for PPC already -- it boots the ppc32 or the
ppc64 kernel according to the hardware.

Using kexec to load the 64-bit kernel if we find that we need it might
be a viable alternative option. Or even, perhaps, running the %post
scripts later after we've booted the 64-bit kernel (e.g. before
firstboot) -- perhaps if we do that we could also manage to run ldconfig
and scrollkeeper-update only once, instead of 100 times during the
install... :)
