You don't need a whole x32 userland in order to be exploited. Just a single x32 binary executable that happens to not depend on on any external libraries.

You don't even need that. This can be done within a 64bit process using the x32 syscall number for recvmmsg.

Ouch.
I did't mean for an exploit, I just meant that you don't have any use for a x32 kernel on your system if you don't have x32 apps and libraries (unless you build a statically-linked x32 app).
