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.
