Is there an OS command I can run to determine if running inside a Xen based virtual machine

Is there an OS command I can run from within a Xen based virtual machine to tell me that it is a virtual box rather than a physical box - I heard that the kernel had some self awareness smarts about it. e.g. like an extra column in "ps" output or something? [I know vmstat provides the "st" column but I have seen this on physical host boxes running Linux Kernel 2.6.11 and greater as well].

Many Thanks,

Paul
