DragonFly in the cloud with ARM, Xen, and OpenStack

Hi,recently Rackspace introduced NASA's OpenStack.org as a new OSS-based cloud implementation, followed by a great feedback form Dell, Intel, and NTT Data. I'd like to know whether there are some people trying to run DragonFly on top of OpenStack/Xen, if it's possible at all and whether it makes sense considering DragonFly's LWKT architecture. 
DragonFly currently supports only the x86 architecture but are there plans (actual implementation efforts) to port DragonFly to ARM. Nvidia and some other chip manufacturers seeing ARM as a new SMP-capable server platform.
