SMP for paravirt guests has been available since Xen 3 was released last 
year - however, HVM (fully virtualised) guests were limited to UP until 
recently. I think that restriction may have been lifted in 3.0.4 now... or 
if not I imagine it'll be doable in 3.0.5. Someone can probably fill in 
more details...
