I am a bit confused here. I like the idea of having yocto building 
everything for you, but at the same time you hide the fact that Xen is 
not an upstream version (you carry more patches [1]). Does it mean this 
patch (early console support) is not sufficient to get Xen working on 
the board?
Also, it is not clear to me why you need a specific device tree and 
hacked DOM0 linux (see [2]) on this board for Xen. This would need some 
documentation on the wiki.
