Canonical and the Ubuntu Community has promised long time support of
12.04 (with a 32-bit version and a 64-bit verson) until April 2017, so
the issue is relevant at least until that date. But if it technically
impossible to solve, we have to accept that.

The problem is that a person who is trying Ubuntu might just discard it
saying "Ubuntu doesn't work on this computer", when the solution is

64bit computers can run 32bit version of ubuntu. To show warnings, we

not boot, on

The main problem is that there are EFI only 32 bit systems, so bailing
