Is the line card running the same OS binaries as the RSP?  (I do not
understand the architecture well enough, and haven't seen any docs that
go into such details).

Otherwise, shipping 32bit "workers" to the line cards while having 
XR with reasonable software upgrade functionality on the RSP (64bit,
if that's what is needed) doesn't seem impossible to me...
