Before I will submit the configury mess I would like to little discuss
about it.
The generic name of CPU is x86_64 in already ported software. It seems
that there shoud be create new config directory gdb/config/x86_64. But
this processor is extended i386 architecture and many parts of code will
be the same as in i386.
I think that the best solution is to create this new config directory
x86_64 and from tm-x86_64.h include i386/tm-i386.h and redefine some
declarations. What do you think?

I think that working on a branch is better too. Can I send ssh key? And
where?
