This is not a browser problem :). In the past, we did attempt to list 
all the boards we know works on a given version of Xen. But this never 
really gain any momentum.
If there is any specific setup you need for your board (e.g. 
non-upstream kernel, a new U-boot...), then I would suggest to create a 
new page with steps to boot Xen the platform. You can have a look how we 
list the other boards in [1].

It is just meant to be an easy way to test basic functionality of Xen 
(e.g booting a guest). You seem to have done it manually, so it should 
be sufficient.

The patch should already be included in xen 4.14-rc2. Would you mind to 
give a spin?
