We are kind of working through to make that easier to read.

But I am not actually sure what you mean by 'modules'?

I am looking to get a more modular view of the Xen architecture.  What Xen VMM components are required to
support a 32 bit guest, what components are required to support 64 bit guest.
Are there components that both the 32 bit and the 64 bit guests share? How does
HVM come into this (i.e. what code supports the usage of HVM and what code is
no longer needed if HVM is used)?

Is there a document out there that depicts this, or is it something you get by going through the source code?
