Doesn't seem much point running 32 bit paravirtualized guests (it will

hypervisor (as well as 64bit paravirtualized guests) using Intel VT
extensions.

I was wondering how the Xen developers could be so confident that VT
would be sufficient to run Windows under Xen, given that no details
of VT have been announced publically; this explains it.
