This can only be first gen (N2xx series) Atoms, which have been
superseded by N4xx/N5xx (supporting x64) in 2009 or Atom Z-series
(targeted at MIDs).
Those first gen N2xx have no VT (or PM) support either, so I do not see
this as real target platform for upcoming Xen major releases where new
features wouldn't be available for this limited CPU feature set anyway...
(I'm not saying you shouldn't run Xen on a Netbook, but what would be
the advantage of upgrading from Xen 4.1.x to 4.2.x on a
x86_32/no-VT/no-PM device?)
Best regards,
Christian
