Please don't top post.. :) 

I think 32-on-64 feature was first introduced in Xen 3.1. 

RHEL 5.2 (and CentOS 5.2) has 32-on-64 as a 'technology preview'. Xen
hypervisor on RHEL5.2/CentOS5.2 is 3.1.2+patches. 

So I think Xen 3.2.x and Xen 3.3.x should both be able to run 32-on-64.

Citrix Xenserver 5 (commercial product) uses 32bit dom0 on 64bit Xen
hypervisor:
