I recently made a fix in fxsave/fxrestor which may correct some issues 
on x86_64. Strangely, the CVS commit mail did not appear on the mailing 
list...

The state of x86_64 is that the install of Fedora core 3 for x86_64 
begins to work (you can select the language for example), but there are 
some invalid characters displayed on screen. I believe there is a sign 
extension problem in a 64 bit instruction.

Now that SSE and MMX are implemented, no feature is lacking in the QEMU 
x86_64 emulation... "just" a problem of debugging now :-)

I did not enable SSE and MMX for x86 because I fear there are still bugs 
which may cause regressions. Interested people can enable the line:

--
     env->cpuid_features |= CPUID_FXSR | CPUID_MMX | CPUID_SSE | 
CPUID_SSE2 | CPUID_PAE;
--

and see if their OS and application still work.
