I went to a couple of Xen presentations at the Red Hat Summit in early
June. The comment there was that x86 32bit was mostly working now but
that x86_64, ia64, amc ppc64 were "still in flux".
Rik van Riel also said that Xen 3.0 was "not stable yet but in Fedora
Core 4". He expected 1-2 months for a feature freeze and 3-4 months
before it got stable.
Intel has 30 developers working on Xen according to the Intel keynote.
I don't know if VMware supports the ia64 yet - from a quick look at
their web site, they didn't in VMware 4 but they're not really saying if
it's supported in VMware 5.
There is a mailing list for Xen discussions - you could try there.
