64 bit version is provided for backward compatibility and upper 32 bits of RAX,RCX and RBX registers are not consumed by the 
MWAITX instruction. Only lower 32 bits of RAX,RCX,RBX (I,e EAX,ECX and EBX) are consumed. Documentation is in progress 
and on completion it will be released to the public.

Thanks. And just to double check - in 64-bit mode it is RBX that matters, not EBX (i.e. the upper 32 bits are not being ignored)?
(I suppose you realize that it's kind of difficult to review such a change without there being public documentation for these new
instructions.)
