I wouldn't go that far; the PV vs HVM choice is pretty complex, and
depends on what your workload is and what hardware you have available.
All I meant was what I said: that if you're running on a machine with a
large amount of memory, then you should run your 32-bit domains as HVM
rather than PV. Though Xen could easily keep domains limited to memory
that they can actually use (it already does this, in fact).
