This is in general an excellent question when it comes to ARM hardware.  We 
seem to have a shifting environment of hardware availability and Xen support 
(which has to be carefully matched with the Linux kernel version used).

Is anyone aware of an upstream Xen/ARM support page, or do we need to start our 
own?  Perhaps we could all record what setup we are using for our ARM machines 
if nothing exists, to kickstart a broader upstream page.
