With acce728cbc6c we disallowed configuring 64-bit guests on
32-bit hosts, but forgot to document that in removed-features.

+In general, 32-bit hosts cannot support the memory space or atomicity
+requirements of 64-bit guests.  Prior to 10.0, QEMU attempted to
+work around the atomicity issues in system mode by running all vCPUs
+in a single thread context; in user mode atomicity was simply broken.
+From 10.0, QEMU has disabled configuration of 64-bit guests on 32-bit hosts.
