Another interpretation of the article, rather than that the writer
didn't know about the 64-bit technology of the iSeries, is that RedHat
have only built a 32-bit kernel for the iSeries.  This doesn't rule out
the possibility that a 64-bit version could come in the future.

IIRC AIX software running in PASE (or on an RS/6000Series for that
matter) is 32-bit.  So this may be a similar limitation.

Cheers,

Martin.
