As I already mentioned, the ARM part is OK. However, is the issue that
xen_start_info is not available on PVH? We had the same problem on ARM
and solved it by faking a xen_start_info page, see the top of
arch/arm/xen/enlighten.c.

I would love to get rid of that, but to do that, we also need to remove
the xen_start_info referece at drivers/tty/hvc/hvc_xen.c:255:

  if (!xen_start_info->console.domU.evtchn)
		return -ENODEV;
