Mark:

Actually Xen supports (at least in development) x86, x86-64, IA64
and POWER. However, I agree that I can't see it being ported to
z/Architecture. The development "cost" would be very large, and
for a relatively small market. The only reason it is coming on
POWER is that IBM has contributed much of our hypervisor code for
POWER to the Xen project. Same with IA64 where HP has contributed
code for IA64 that they wrote for partitioning.
