I built VMs on AMD 64, no problems. All looks well for:

Intel 32 bit Linux 32 bit VM
Intel 32 bit Linux 64 bit VM
AMD 64 bit Linux 32 bit VM
AMD 64 bit Linux 64 bit VM

The previously mentioned patches still apply, including requirement
for inlined memory access functions rather than macros for 32 bit
VM on 64 bit AMD Linux.

I'll have a look. Should have no effect on the VMM release, which
looks fine as near as I can tell.
