The included Xen kernel is based on Linux 2.6.18, which does not support 
any 3Ware controllers newer than the 9550.  None of the PCIe controllers 
are supported.  You need a Linux kernel newer than 2.6.20 to get support 
for the 9650 and newer controllers.

You either need to choose a different controller, choose a Linux distro 
that forward-ported Xen support to a newer Linux kernel, or choose a 
different virtualisation system.
