You have a few options

1) Unconditionally force xsave off.  It is at the very least buggy if
you are missing the patches causing your patch application problems.

2) Backport the xsave patches as well. 
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=history;f=xen/arch/x86/xstate.c;hb=12b0ee04a16194f064d5b895a844fcdc6414bfc0
should give you a good idea of the patches. 
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commitdiff;h=0bda88abe18029c2bbe9dc5d07cc706bd775c9b7
is probably the main patch needed.

3) Rework the security patch yourself using
0bda88abe18029c2bbe9dc5d07cc706bd775c9b7 as a reference of where and how
to patch in arch/x86/traps.c


I highly recommend option 2.
