Ah, I see.
Debian just calls it amd64.
I don't see any x86-64 bit extensions in the standard stock kernel.
It looks like you can get patches for x86-64 at:
http://www.x86-64.org/

Specifically(and I don't know why this isn't linked on their front page)
ftp://ftp.x86-64.org/pub/linux/v2.6/

I couldn't find it in 2.6.11.9(what I'm currently running), but let me know if 
you find something different.
