Describe the bug
Feature Request: Add more information to issue.txt file on boot partiton of Pi OS.
Please add the following to issue.txt file:
- Architecture (bit width, i.e. 32 or 64), Format is not critical, just requesting some way to know the image on SD card is 32 or 64 bit OS variant.

I am writing a PowerShell script, later a true application, that allows for greater customization of cmdline.txt and config.txt files, and would like to be able have a better method of knowing the image as 32 or 64 bit, than relying on config.txt 'arm_64bit=' setting which operator could change or delete in error. Plan to have my script warn operator this is a configuration mismatch, if operator selects such option.
If there is a better way to determine image architecture width, please suggest.

Right, this is not a kernel issue per se, just indirectly related. Thanks for the information.
