Having ARM as a "first class" architecture for Xen would certainly be nice. 

It's a case of getting the ARM port caught up with mainline development, and 
then keeping it there, which requires quite a resource commitment from the ARM 
developers, though there are also plenty of benefits of being mainstream.  It's 
a topic I imagine is going to come up at the developer summit in Santa Clara 
next week...
