Is "xl" the application that is installed following the "Xen ARM with
Virtualization Extensions/CrossCompiling" page, "Build arm64 tools" section?

I was able to install the "xen-tools" package with no issues, following the
"xen-tools – a straightforward VM provisioning/installation tool" page
("https://blog.xenproject.org/2012/08/31/xen-tools-a-straightforward-vm-prov
isioninginstallation-tool/").

Does that package provide the only "Xen Tools" that are necessary?

The Xen tools are used to create and manage virtual machines. See xl(1)[0]
for more information.
