Switching from 32-bit to 64-bit "en vivo" this way is begging for pain. 
Backing up your images and Xen setup is *good*. I've seen reports of 
people running 32-bit VM's successfully on 64-bit OS's, but I've 
personally had serious trouble with running non-rebuilt apps from 32-bit 
environments in a 64-bit environment. (Wacom devices, in particular.)
Why do you have to update your server to 64-bit but not your VM's?
