I don't remember such problem. Could this module be

BTW, I'm checking that rebuilding OpenWRT.

When you execute make menuconfig, choose Target=x86 and SubTarget="Xen
paravirt Guest". Then go to Kernel Modules -> Virtualisation Support
Xen PCI frontend is disabled by default. Did you activated it ?

OpenWRT global config cat be found in .config:
# grep xen -i .config
CONFIG_TARGET_x86_xen_domu=y
CONFIG_TARGET_x86_xen_domu_Default=y
CONFIG_DEFAULT_kmod-xen-evtchn=y
CONFIG_DEFAULT_kmod-xen-fs=y
CONFIG_DEFAULT_kmod-xen-kbddev=y
CONFIG_DEFAULT_kmod-xen-netdev=y
CONFIG_X86_GRUB_BOOTOPTS="xencons=hvc"
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-xen-evtchn=y
# CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-xen-fbdev is not set
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-xen-fs=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-xen-kbddev=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-xen-netdev=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-xen-pcidev=y


Other way may be to fill target/linux/x86/xen_domu/config-default with
Xen CONFIG_* values. This will be used as kernel config
