Smatch actually warned about a real thing here: atomisp is
doing a check in 32bits that it is always true. So, IMO,
something is needed to prevent 32bits extra useless code somehow,
perhaps via some EFI-var specific function that would do nothing
on 32 bits.
That's the first time I noticed this code on media (although I might
have missed something), so I guess this kind of checking is actually
not that common.
