nope, the guest kernels (both dom0 and domU) have to use the same memory model
as the Xen hypervisor: 32bit, PAE or 64bit.  that implies that dom0 and domU
have to match too.

for HVM guests it's more relaxed, and a 64bit hypervisor can run 32bit HVM
guests. (not sure about PAE)

So I assume with Vanderpool this will work fine? I currently don't
have any vt processors to test with..
