On a related note, is there a simple way of checking if the Xen dom0 is
using the VT extensions?  Seems like it is possible that one could have
a mis-configured Xen running on a processor that supports VT without
actually using the VT.

That's what I said about "post buy"
When you boot the demo cd, and  "xm dmesg" shows "VMXON DONE" you have
hardware that fully supports it, and xen is built with hvm support
(which is true anyway for xen 3.0.2 binaries from xensource).

Still, with 3.0.2 some people experience freezes which go away when
using tesing/unstable sources.

So, as I said, _for now_ it is some more to it than just buy a
specific processor model. Looks like that will improve in the future.
