Not right now, but it is certainly in our roadmap. In fact we plan to
start working on it in the context of Google Summer of Code. Chek
the OpenNebula management console Ideas in:

As Raul says, the IM probes can be easily extended to add any attribute like
HYPERVISOR="xen" or HYPERVISOR ="kvm"

Then in the VM template you simply add

REQUIREMENTS = 'HPERVISOR="xen"'

And the scheduler will only pick hosts with HYPERVISOR attribute equals to "xen".
This is a great suggestion. I'll add a ticket to have this in the next release of OpenNebula.

Well this one is more difficult. VIDs of removed VMs (for example, when they are DONE)
are not reused because the VM data is kept in database for accounting purposes
