http://www.x86-64.org/downloads has the following blurb:

"Here's what all you kernel hackers have dreamed of: an x86 system
simulator running under GNU/Linux! The simulated system contains an x86-64
chip, RAM, disks, and VGA.  You can single-step the CPU, peek at registers
and memory, and lots of other fun stuff.  For now, you can only run 32-bit
GNU/Linux because the x86-64 kernel port isn't done.  But, you can play
with 64-bit mode, and you can debug those pesky 32-bit kernel bugs without
having to hard-boot your hardware all the time."

We might find it useful ? Though the licensing terms appear somewhat
restrictive: "License Grant. AMD hereby grants to LICENSEE a nonexclusive,
royalty-free license to use the Simulator solely for development of BIOS,
drivers, operating systems, tools and applications for use in computers
incorporating AMD products at LICENSEE'S premises".
