I did wonder ;-)

I guess if you really want *the same* environment for 32-bit users, i.e. using
a XenLinux kernel, you could run a 32-bit Xen under VT under 64-bit Xen. The
performance implications of this are a bit painful though. Better to either:
* migrate to a 64-bit kernel and userland if possible (best)
* use 32-on-64 support for Xen when & if it becomes available
* migrate to a 32-bit native i386 kernel, running in VT
You'll have a migration path, but it's likely to have some fiddling involved.
Cheers,
Mark
