I have no idea what gave you that idea, the kernel mailing list indicates that 
dom0 support is coming nicely, although probably won't make mainline in 2.6.33. 
But it still appears to be on the path to the mainline kernel, as bits get 
ready. The original issue was that xen was too pervasive IIRC, and it's 
certainly in RHEL which I run on several P4 machines.

As to xen or KVM on non-x86_xx hardware, I have no idea.
