The flags from /proc/cpuinfo after this reboot where I checked the virtualization setting in the bios are:

You're already running the Xen kernel and your view of /proc/cpuinfo is from the dom0, right?
I don't think you can see the vmx (Intel) or svm (AMD) flags from dom0, but the underlying hypervisor should be able to see it. Try
sudo xm dmesg | grep -i hvm
You should see something like "(XEN) HVM: VMX enabled".
BINGO!
Thank you. I had even wondered slightly about whether my view from within the system might not be the right one for this.
To be precise, I see:
[localddb@prcapp00 ~]$ sudo /usr/sbin/xm dmesg | grep -i hvm (XEN) HVM: VMX enabled (XEN) HVM: Hardware Assisted Paging detected and enabled.
Thank you very much!
