Did you try to only clean the cache? When page table for the secondary
CPU is created Xen only clean the cache for the specific range.
I suspect it's not enough and we need to invalidate.

It should be easy to try with this small patch:

diff --git a/xen/include/asm-arm/page.h b/xen/include/asm-arm/page.h
index e00be9e..5a8aba2 100644
--- a/xen/include/asm-arm/page.h
+++ b/xen/include/asm-arm/page.h
@@ -234,7 +234,7 @@ static inline void clean_xen_dcache_va_range(void
*p, unsigned long size)
     void *end;
     dsb();           /* So the CPU issues all writes to the range */
     for ( end = p + size; p < end; p += cacheline_bytes )
-        asm volatile (__clean_xen_dcache_one(0) : : "r" (p));
+        asm volatile (__clean_and_invalidate_xen_dcache_one(0) : : "r"
(p));
     dsb();           /* So we know the flushes happen before continuing */
 }
