Sounds something interesting ... to try...
Could you give some pointers as to how to compile the hypervisor as
64-bit???

I currently have a 32-bit setup but the hardware (CPU/MB/RAMetc) is
64-bit capable and I could just run 32-bit domUs I wanted to run more
than a bare dom0 on the hardware for continutity ....  but I am kind of
free to try ANYTHING .... but I need to run stuff in Debian/32-bit ...

So can you tell me how to compile a 64-bit xen.gz on my current Debian
32-bit PAE setup??? (the host needs to be up for certain other things
although 24/7 is not an issue...)

And if this is helpful to figure this out I am willing to spend some
time to experiment ... to trying to make 32 bit built xen.gz  run with grub2

Let me know...
