This ought to work for HVM virtual machines just fine (you can run 32-bit PAE 
or non-PAE guests just fine).

For paravirtualised guests, 3.0.4 requires them to have the same paging model 
(i.e. 64-bit / 32-bit, and for the latter PAE or non PAE).

xen-unstable has (I believe) support for mixing paravirtualised 32-bit PAE 
guests and 64-bit paravirtualised guests on a 64-bit Xen.  Dom0 can also be 
32-bit in this scenario.

Cheers,
Mark
