Cell BE does support the same hypervisor extensions that the 970 does,
so in theory it should be possible to port Xen to it. I wouldn't call
its core "970 compatible" other than in the way all PowerPC cores are
+/- "compatible".

PS3 has its own hypervisor which of course won't let user-supplied code
run in hypervisor mode.
