What I usually do is create an initial template for 32bit and 64bit
domU, in the form of tar.gz (for domU filesystem) and domU config.
Kernel is located within domU, loaded with pygrub. Whenever I need a
32bit domU I simply extract the template and modify domU config.

It's easier to manage that way as you don't have to care whether dom0
is 64bit or 32bit when using 32bit domU, plus you don't have to
synchronize kernel/initrd and modules between dom0 and domU.
