Xenomai depends on Linux to support SMP first.
Since there is no cache coherency on this board, supporting SMP (sort of,
sub-optimal form) is a braindamage albeit possible task, but I doubt the Xilinx
kernel tree provides it already. Does it?
So the answer is likely no, Xenomai won't support your board in full dual core
mode, since Xenomai assumes cache coherency is available in SMP mode.
Now, you could port Xenomai to your board without Linux underneath, but you
would still be hit by the cache coherency issue.

Well, ... No.
