I think at this point not really, I'll guess that we'll contact you as
soon as we encounter specific problems.  

Btw. We will setup a separate CVS archive and use that for everything
and then merge to the mainline back.  Information about the x86-64
port is available at http://www.x86-64.org.

If there's such a list, then please point us to it.  If there's any
other guidance you can give Jiri, that's warmly welcome.
