What if we use the "status" property of the clocks? Could we set it to
"disabled" in Xen? Would that be enough for Linux to leave them alone?

clocks could be shared between multiple devices. So it is not possible
to disable the clock.

To give an example, below the UART node for juno (arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/juno-base.dtsi):

        soc_uart0: uart@7ff80000 {
                compatible = "arm,pl011", "arm,primecell";
                reg = <0x0 0x7ff80000 0x0 0x1000>;
                interrupts = <GIC_SPI 83 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
                clocks = <&soc_uartclk>, <&soc_refclk100mhz>;
                clock-names = "uartclk", "apb_pclk";
        };

The clock soc_refclk100mhz is shared with the mailbox.
