This request is supporting the update of memtest86+ to v6.x that supports BIOS and UEFI booting. This change allows both the x64 and ia32 builds to be installed via the x86_64 repos. This seems like the most suitable way to allow both x64 and ia32 builds.

Why would we want this? We are generally trying to get rid of ia32 stuff, not add more. I've looked at the bug report, but AFAICS there's no explanation of the why.

There are ia32 BIOS/UEFI bootloaders out in the wild and I'd like to see parity with capabilities vs architecture. With this change, it will go away when there is no longer a %{ix86} builder available.

This seems like a reasonable exception to provide the full capabilities of memtest86+.

After needing to make some compromises regarding disk layout for this package, it's not worth fighting to make this multilib. I'm withdrawing this request.
