Maybe there is some soft watchdog solution already written. You will 
need some kind of remote power switch to make it complete.

Remote console -> serial over LAN.
Depends on motherboard support, not on the CPU type. I use a rather 
cheap SuperMicro server that has IPMI with serial (console) over LAN as 
an option.
IPMI combines really good with Xen servers if you take a moment to 
configure it properly. Xen takes over the serial port, so you need to 
follow other instructions than for non-Xen systems. They are only 
slightly different luckily.
