I can understand Subrata's rational to transfer control to the payload in 64 bit seamlessly without the need to fall back to 32 bit mode. And given Intel's plans to transfer to x86S for new generations, we have to do something anyway.
Let us please find a good, stable and most compatible solution for this issue. The mentioned arguments by Arthur and Julius are valuable, IMO. Subrata made the first step and the remaining comments should be worked on. Beside this let's try to find a good way to get this feature in time.
Should 32-bit payloads generally be expected to work on X86S? I'm wondering if emulation is the right solution to this problem since there may be enough architectural differences that 32-bit payloads might not function they way they're supposed to anyway.
