Finding the supported guest OSes with their available  features when on XenServer is not too straight forward as Citrix just list all the operating systems without anything specific. But if we also look to the Release Notes and the XenServer Virtual Machine Installation Guide we can compare that to the list of supported OSes and see if there are caveats by enabling some of the features.
.
The following guest operating systems are supported by XenServer 5.0:
 
X86
x86-64
2x vsmp
4x vsmp
8x smp
