There is ongoing work upstream to allow 32-bit domU's to run on 64-bit hypervisors, but that doesn't work right now.
Thanks. So if my hardware was newer (or I wait long enough :-),
I could get a 32 bit OS to run fully virtualized. I'll see what
happens when we try it at work on a box that does have the
hardware support.

Forgive me for jumping in here, but, in theory, it *should* be
possible to utilize a 64-bit domU kernel with a 32-bit userland,
assuming of course that the domU kernel has 32-bit compatibility
turned on.  In practice, getting the 32-bit userland set up might be
somewhat tricky, but this shouldn't be impossible.

Am I missing something?

Yes, you are right, of course.  I was mainly talking about running a 32-bit domU *kernel* on a 64-bit hypervisor/dom0.
