I'm confused. Do you mean you don't want to enable LLint instead of
CLoop, for the case when JIT is disabled on 32-bit architectures?
FTR, the configuration LLInt(with offlineasm)+jit+dfg is tested in
32-bit testbots for at least mips, armv7 and x86.

See what Filip and Michael were saying. We believe that we need
JSVALUE32_64, and we are willing to maintain it, as the performance gap
between LLInt or CLoop and JIT+DFG on 32-bit architectures is
significant.
