I have only tested it on amd64, but I don't know of anything inherent in
the PV driver framework that would prevent it from operating on other
architectures.

It has been quite stable for me. There are still some issues with clock
interrupt processing ("time going backwards messages on the console at
times"), but nothing that brings down the system.
BTW, my testing has been primarily on -current, but I just merged
the latest Xen PV driver support into stable/8, so it should work
fine there too.

I will be updating FreeBSD 7 and 6 today. You will need to update from source to get this version as it is not on the release ISOs We are using it a lot at Yahoo. It is very stable.
