The current status for x86_64 is: Driver compiles cleanly for all recent 
kernels. Module insertion is ok, at least on single processor machines 
the driver seems to work in the beginning. Random freezes occur.

There is no way of predicting when a useful module will be completed. I 
don't have much time at the moment, I might give it another shot 
tomorrow though. Other developers are working on the problem too, though 
right now nobody seems to have the necessary time.

You can however help: please try to figure out where the kernel freezes 
occur (if they do occur on your machine). Contact me off the list if 
you're interested in helping.
