So Solaris 2008.05 integrates a version of Xen capable of 32-on-64-bit operation, which makes one section of our chapter on non-Linux systems obsolete. (That being the section where we advise users to download the Xen binary distribution for a convenient 64-bit kernel image.)
Personally I'm glad of it. One can see, very clearly, Xen making its way from a loose blob of bits to an actual product. Eventually the struggles we had will be not worth mentioning, the sort of barbarism one doesn't bring up in polite company.
Or, as Luke is fond of pointing out, "Hey, Xen works now! Let's play with KVM."
