I modified the wiki pages a bit aswell, and tried clarifying it's the 
host/hypervisor supported that has been removed, and 32bit VMs are still 
supported.

Should we have an explicit line for that on: 
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Release_Features ? 

Someone might still read the current host info as "support for 32bit VMs has 
been removed" .. which obviously isn't true.
