But Oracle has a 64-bit hypervisor. That is what matters - "XEN" has to be 64-bit, Dom0 as well as other Domains can be 32-bit....

No, you can't. You need 64-bit hardware to run a 64-bit guest. However, if you're asking (as people sometimes do) if you can have a 32 bit dom0 and 64 bit guests. Well, the answer is still "no", but with caveats. OracleVM has a 32 bit dom0 and allows 64 bit guests; RHEL definitely does not, I know what the needed code is, and it's not there. jch
