I'm unsure regarding the current status of the x86_64 system
emulation, especially the userspace part. I think I've seen the same
thing when I tried the x86_64 system emulator a while ago.

Good thing is that I've been able to run a custom compiled x86_64
kernel with ia32 userspace filesystem in the x86_64 system emulator.
It works fine for me, as long as the kernel is not SMP. Perfect for
x86_64 kernel hacking.

Cheers,
