Detailed Description

389-ds project have found an issue which causes system instability on all versions of 1.4.x of the server on i686 platform. This is a hardware limitation of the platform related to how we consume atomic types. This may lead to thread unsafety and other issues.

 - FreeIPA server will not be available on i686 due to this
 - slapi-nis set of plugins will not be available on i686 due to this
 - Upgrade of i686 instance of Fedora with FreeIPA server will not be possible without fully uninstalling FreeIPA replica
