- add support for AMD's x86-64 instruction set. To enable, configure with
--enable-x86-64. The AMD x86-64 support is about 90% complete and is

the changes to the rest of Bochs necessary to operate in long mode, but
we've still to implement checking for canonical 64 bit addresses. The code
has been tested on a limited number of test programs. It has been able to
successfully boot the x86-64 kernel, but hasn't quite been able to run a
64 bit userland application yet. It has also successfully run a DOS based
64 bit protected mode test application. (Peter Tattam, with merge/bugfix
help from Kevin Lawton and Bryce Denney)
