The benefits of running the kernel in 64 bit are somewhat nebulous.
Some Macs with 64 bit-capable CPUs don't even support the 64 bit kernel because the machine has 32-bit EFI, or because the machine is on a hardcoded list of machines which don't support 64 bit kernel operation.
If you're booting the kernel in 64 bit, is there a reason why you're doing so?

People here aren't ignorant and I'm sure there are a number of valid reasons to want to run in 64-bit mode rather than 32.
It is not a question of why it's necessary. The issue here is the promise of a 64-bit driver by the end of 2009. Look around everyone -- DisplayLink has not had a single post on this forum for the last 4 months. Clearly, we're beating a dead horse. We're never going to get a response from them.
