Newer versions of Xen (I think 3.1+ will do) can run 32bit PV domU or
dom0 on top of 64bit hypervisor, so you don't have to use HVM.

The easiest way is to look what parameters you use to create the domU.
If you use -p or --paravirt, it will be PV. If you use -v or --hvm, it
will be HVM. Some domU (like Windows) only supports HVM.

Deterimining this from domU is somewhat harder. One way to do it is to
look at /proc/xen. If that directory exists then most likely it's PV
domU.
