With acpicpu kernel (GENERIC config, just disabled all the other powersave 
options and enabled the acpicpu) the machine's power requirements are 
comparable to Debian Squeeze. And that's a very good result.

This doesn't work: the XEN0 config hasn't a "acpicpu" option and if trying to 
add it, it refuses to compile.
So for now, no power management for me on Xen Dom0 :(
