AFAIK porting xen to Power5/Power6 is not on the roadmap. Xen is
ported to IBM PowerPC processors e.g. PowerPC 970 (used in old MACs
and IBM blades). PowerPC is low end branch of IBM processors based on
POWER architecture. They are not supported(I can't use it) with IBM
hypervisor and therefore xen port is good alternative for
virtualization on these CPU architecture.
