That is always good advice if you have a 64 bit processor. The 64 bit
version of Xen is recommended over the 32 bit version if you have a 64
bit capable processor.

Note that you can run a 32 bit dom0 kernel (and userspace) on top of a
64 bit hypervisor if you like (so called "32on64"). Also with a 64 bit
hypervisor it is always possible to run either 32 or 64 bit guests
(regardless of the dom0 bit width).
