Hol'up. A 64b chip with 32b physical addresses?
Only for the additional registers then?

https://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Atom/Intel-Atom%20CE4150.html
https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/atom-ce4150.c1440

I'm 99% sure it's running a 32b kernel.
Are you saying a 64b kernel would work?
(Well, there are several binary blobs, so no way.)
