I've no idea what lshw does or where it gets it information from.

The 64bit support is determined by the processor. Check for the "lm" flag
in /proc/cpuinfo
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge
mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe
nx lm constant_tsc pebs bts pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl cid cx
That appears to be there ...
