There used to be, and still is if you are doing a lot of 32bit work
(like building 32bit target binaries).

On some architectures like powerpc, 32bit user space is the only option
(64bit is less efficient), but with a 64bit kernel (again no option on
most hardware).  x86 is unique in that 64bit user space is faster than
32bit user space in most cases.
