Fly-by-wire elements in the 747-8?

Boeing's latest 747-8 will incorporate a partial FBW control. My question is: What exactly is controlled by that new system? I know about the roll spoilers. How about the ailerons, speedbrakes and stuff? Will these systems have any mechanical backup? How about artificial feel? Are there any new FBW-"laws" or protections? How about system or elec failures? Can't find any details yet. Thanks for any link that's a little more detailed.
