ARM on X86

Hi all?
does Xen provide the flavor of emulation? means provide virtualization for arm OS on X86
or in other words dom0 is for x86 and domU is ARM OS?

Thanks

No, it doesn't do any processor translation. So you can only run
Intel/AMD binaries/OSs on Intel/AMD.

qemu can emulate ARM... it would be neat if Xen could boot a qemu instance emulating arm as if it was a virtual machine and all the management interfaces remained the same and the backend/frontend interface was also the same (for testing xen-on-arm DomU's) but it would only be useful to developers.
