   During the s390 merge I noticed that the x86-64 hasn't been mentioned in 
   the NEWS file.

There's a reason for that: there are still some bits missing.  Jiri
posted the bits and JimB is reviewing them.

   I'm also wondering how clean this new target is.  If it is a drop
   in (like s390) then it may be worth dropping it into the 5.1
   branch.

Let's *not* delay the 5.1 release for this.  We really should try to
get GDB 5.1 out of the door soon.  We can always drop the x86-64 stuff
into the 5.1 branch after the 5.1 release.
