CentOS dom0 is 64-bit. Xen from the repo.  Created some 32-bit domU
and grabbed one from jailtime.org.

The domUs refuse to boot unless they use an initrd created with
mkinitrd --omit-scsi-modules --with=xennet --with=xenblk
--preload=xenblk initrd-$(uname -r)-no-scsi.img $(uname -r)` but at
least the domUs boot.

The issue is that they all think that they are 64-bit servers.

-bash-3.2# arch
x86_64
-bash-3.2# uname  -m
x86_64

Thus whenever I try to update any packages they want to pull in 64-bit
packages. Is there somewhere within /sys or /proc that I can use to
overcome this?
