Thanks for your answer, Pasi. Meanwhile we have also discovered that if we
try Ubuntu 9.10 (with kernel 2.6.31) the vmx flag is indeed present.
However, Ubuntu has no xen kernel. :-( I could try to build it myself, but
it seems a bit hairy according to
http://old.nabble.com/2.6.30-dom0-Xen-patches-td24293721i20.html

I have read http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenDom0Kernels/ which is a
good source of information but I have a hard time picking distro. To start
with, what minimum versions (of Xen hypervisor, and Linux kernel) would
you recommend if you want to run 2008R2?
