FEATURE REQUEST: Including a 32bit UEFI key in the 64bits ISO #2850

Some machines (many with Intel Bayrail processors for exemple) have a 32Bit UEFI with a 64 bit processor. Some distribution (Debian, Mageia, Fedora) include the 32bit UEFI bootia key in their 64bit ISOs (together with the 64bit UEFI bootia key of course). You can see some details here: [Changes/32BitUefiSupport - Fedora Project Wiki] (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/32BitUefiSupport) That would be a wonderfull thing to include the 32bit UEFI key in the OM’s 64bit ISOs, allowing therefore these isos to boot in those hybrid machines.

A bit of litterature on the topic;)
