I have most of the amd64 userland bits. The syscalls *context() don't seem to work correctly yet (testing done on sledge). I can commit them so that they are there for others to play with. As Marcel can probably confirm, it is not that difficult for someone with <arch> knowledge to write the necessary libkse bits -- probably no more than a weekend. Marcel's ia64 bits are a good path to follow. I'd like to see the emphasis put more on the <arch>s; if they are going to be Tier-1, provide the necessary libkse bits :-) -- Dan Eischen
