Supported hardware platforms:

Support is developing for the platforms:
    * PPC (stalled)
 
 
 At this stage I'd rather say "unknown", because I really don't know what's 
happening.
 
    * ARM (poor)
 
 
 I'd say "in progress" - it's not available in mainline Xen yet, but companies 
do seem to have some sort of commitment to making it work.
 
    * MIPS port mentioned
 
 
No idea if this was mentioned seriously, or just tossed about as an idea.
 
Can I run a 64-bit HVM-domain in a 32-bit host system?
 Dom0  domU
  32    32     Ok
  32    64     ??
  64    32     Ok
  64    64     Ok
As far as I can understand it is possible
but hypervisor (and domain0) should be PAE-enabled.
 
 
No, it's not possible - how should that work (and why would you want to
do it)?
If you really need to start 64bit guests on a 32bit host, you may have
some luck with Qemu emulation, though.
 
 
 You can, in fact, run a 32-bit PAE dom0 and a 64-bit domU, provided Xen itself 
is 64-bit.  This might even perform better than using a 64-bit dom0, due to 
various differences between x86_64 and x86_32 - it's crazy stuff.
 
 I meant running a 64bit guest running on a 32bit host sitting on a 32bit 
hardware.
It's not possible, unless emulated.
