Re: [Xen-users] 64bit kernel for 32bit pv DomU in 64bit Dom0

[Pierre-Alain RIVIERE <pariviere@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

32 bit userland will always be compatible with 64 bit kernel.

And as far as I know there's no problem to proceed this way  and I do 
the same.
This link also describes 32/64 bit compatibility between Dom0 and DomU.
