It definitely can be folded in, but as you have mentioned later on in
this email that Exynos5250 will stop booting cause of the erroneous
value of 0x204f000 instead of 0x2020000. If this is folded in, then
the arndale DT should be possibly corrected for it to play well with
XEN.

I was going over linux kernels (not mainline but vendor modified)
3.10/3.13/3.14 and I find that though they have a DT, they do not seem
to use it entirely. Especially the Exynos modified ones. They have
many hardcoded values which they pull out of thin air and not use the
DT ones. I am guessing that is the reason they are working. I wonder
if the linux mainline 3.16 or 3.17 which I believe has support for the
arndale exynos5250 boots up because of the erroneous (or so I think)
sysram-ns value?
