"While Xen's architecture and interfaces are portable, Xen's current 
implementation supports all forms of x86 32 and 64.  The Xen Project has 
discussed the possibility of Itanium and Power support.  No discussion of 
System z has occurred, likely because z/VM and PRSM are such successful and 
mature virtualization implementations on System z."
