[haiku-development] Feasibility of a 64-bit port?

To familiarize myself some with the Haiku codebase, I'm looking at
potentially developing a port for one of two platforms: either the ADI
Blackfin DSP or the Intel Itanium. Since Itanium is a 64-bit platform, how
complex would it be to run Haiku on a 64-bit architecture? I'm assuming at
minimum quite a bit of code relies on things like specific datatype sizes.
