That's really the main question here; the removal of the 32-bit hypervisor is more or less decided already.

However, since there will still be a kernel-xen (that can be used as domU), will you please make sure that it will refuse to boot rather than fail silently if somebody tries

How is "refuse to boot" different from "fail silently"? The kernel can't (rely on being able to) issue user visible messages this early, and there's currently no mechanism for Xen to tell whether a particular kernel is Dom0-capable (nor can I immediately see a strait forward and backward compatible way to add one).
