look at some of the freebsd www documentation - handbooks and articles:
freebsd developers handbook?
freebsd architecture handbook?

look at the under developers -> platforms -> amd64 project from 
www.freebsd.org.

look at some of the freebsd asm coding in the source tree:
cd /usr/src/sys
find . -name '*.[s|S]' -print | grep amd64
