Yesterday I was working on it. I've put the code together, as I did last time, 
now it's only time to debug it. However the two problems are:

1) I don't use a 64-bit arch normally (I have a ugly Fedora AMD64 installed).
2) when I did it last time, UML didn't boot and nothing in the patch made me 
understood what was wrong.

I hope next week I can publish my version, even if I don't solve the problem, 
so that eventually somebody will be able to fix it.

However, notice that what we can currently give is a port to run 32-bit UMLs. 
Which is very nice, but not everything. On the host side, the 64-bit version 
is probably ready and easier to debug than the 32-bit emulation.

The problem for 64-bit UMLs is that, to my knowledge, they must still get 
support for 64-bit SKAS. It shouldn't be hard, I hope.
