Just a little message to let the list know about my progress with the 
port of current OpenSSI to x86_64.

Based on the work from John Byrne, John Steinman and others (what is 
this, a conspiracy of John's?).

A 2.6.12 OpenSSI kernel boots on x86_64.  A two node cluster has been 
formed.  Root failover has been tested.

The kernel and a Debian Lenny userland are available in the 
deb.openssi.org repository.

See http://deb.openssi.org/openssi/dists/1.9.6-lenny-preview for 
instructions.

Note that this is alpha quality code, it doesn't yet pass all the 
regression tests (some bugs in process migration at least), and unlike 
the i386 port it has had almost no testing.
