BTW there are also various Allwinner based platforms which are fully
Open Source HW (i.e schematics, layouts etc). linux-sunxi.org has pages
for a variety of then. The various Olimex boards are the main example.
I've not tried on myself but IMHO anything with an A20 (sun7i) processor
(same a Cubietruck) should work with Xen OK.

I don't think we've tried anything other sunxi, but I'd expect anything
with a Cortex-A7 or -A15 to work OK, although none of the newer ones
seem to have onboard SATA which is a bit sad.

The older Cortex-A8 based stuff won't work with Xen (no virt
extensions).
