AMD64 support is not yet finished. What I did till now is in the -v9-preXX 
patch, while -v8 doesn't support AMD64, but it doesn't work well.

However UMLs run very well if:

a) you're running a Slackware root_fs in the guest image - they can work then 
in SKAS3 mode

b) otherwise, they'll hang, but if you add on the cmd line on a recent enough 
UML (>=2.6.14 or 2.6.15, not sure) "noprocmm", it will start and use part of 
the SKAS support - indeed, the most important one (yep, the /proc/mm file in 
itself is the least important one).
