[movitz-devel] Movitz support for x86_64?

[Robert Burghart]

It's been awhile since I looked at it but as I remember you'd have to
modify the built in assembler so it generates x64 binary information at the
very least. Then make any changes to the actual kernel to make it work as a
64 bit kernel. Also modify the GRUB boot descriptor so that it knows to
setup a 64 bit environment for the kernel.
