Microblaze, openrisc, sh, hexagon all don't have CONFIG 64BIT defined
in KCONFIG, and are not using CONFIG_64BIT in their arch code.  Is
there something else that makes you point out the hexagon as 32 bit
only (and not other 3) ?

The microblaze/ openrisc/sh are currently listed as TODO in this patch
, and that is because the search results show they have 64 bits CPU.
But I like to double check.

I  included some people who recently merged into those arches in case
anyone is familiar with 32bit/64 bits usage in those architectures.

Thanks
