Sure, but I think I will have to apply it "blindly" after some review because I 
don't own any IA64 machine (I guess you're talking about IA64, not AI64).

Sure, I think there is only a limited amount of users requiring it. The change 
shall be basically limited to a change of the getArchitecture() method and an 
update of the XSD enumerations of the "architecture" extended host match 
attribute which shall support "x86", "x64" and "ia64" values.

I will be away this afternoon but I think I can have a look at the changes soon 
after if you send it to me.
