Pretty telling that x86_64 is running so far behind i386 with 
the older virtualization methods available (understanding that 
this is not a random or statistically meaningful sample). 
For dom0, under kvm, of course x86_64 is mandated, but I 
suspect i386 will still dominate in downloads a year from now, 
with 6 series added

Thank you for this data
