I have now updated xen on Fedora 20 to version 4.3.0. I have built it with the XSM/FLASK security subsystem available if you add a xenpolicy file as a module in the grub configuration. Note that the xen-hypervisor package on i686 is currently empty because it was dropped in this version, but a 32-bit dom0 should work on a 64-bit hypervisor if your hardware supports it.

Does that mean if I do an 32bit install of Xen it will install a 64bit hypervisor (xen.gz)? That would be quite fantastic!

Not at the moment, but it is what I would like to do. I don't think Fedora supports installing x86_64 packages on i686, so my current plan, if I can get it working, is to cross compile a 64-bit hypervisor in the 32-bit build. You may be able to force an install of the x86_64 hypervisor package on i686 as a temporary measure, or just copy over the files.
