VT is not yet shipping. If your processor had it, you'd know ;-)

Once it is shipping cpuid will almost certainly set a bit indicating as much.

According to xen/arch/x86/vmx.c, when the start_vmx() function
succeeds it should print "VMXON is done". You can see whether
your xen printed this at boot time by typing "xm dmesg".

The vmx*.o files are built and linked in by default.

This is on the -unstable branch.
