[PATCH] i386: Allow i386 crash kernels to handle x86_64 dumps


The specific case I am encountering is kdump under Xen with a 64 bit
hypervisor and 32 bit kernel/userspace.  The dump created is 64 bit due to
the hypervisor but the dump kernel is 32 bit for maximum compatibility.

It's possibly less likely to be useful in a purely native scenario but I
see no reason to disallow it.
