And I would hope that the installer would be clever enough to see if KVM is supported and offer xen if not. Doesn't need to be default, available is fine.
What if i don't want KVM install no matter of hardware ? I will want Xen on icore7 + ASUS P6TDT+ 16 GB RAM , Dell PowerEdge and so on ...
I guess you will have to manually yum install kernel-xen. We can't magically know your preference, but it makes sense to default to KVM (by which I am really saying "default to a plain Linux kernel") because that is far less intrusive for users.
NB, there is no kernel-xen anymore with pvops dom0. To enable xen you just need to yum install xen-hypervisor and update grub to boot the kernel under the hypervisor
