How to differentiate between an OVM and a Xen VM?

As OVM uses XEN, I can't tell if this is an OVM or a genuine Xen.

This is what the OS reports:

[root@system ~]# dmidecode -s system-product-name

HVM domU

[root@system ~]# dmidecode -t system

# dmidecode 2.12

SMBIOS 2.4 present.

Handle 0x0100, DMI type 1, 27 bytes
