Yes. arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos5250-arndale.dts contains this:

chosen {
                 bootargs = "dom0_mem=256M sync_console console=dtuart 
dtuart=serial0";
                 xen,dom0-bootargs = "console=hvc0,115200n8 debug 
root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 ignore_loglevel rw rootwait earlyprintk=xen";
                 modules {
                         module@0 {
                                 compatible = "xen,linux-zimage", 
"xen,multiboot-module";
                                 reg = <0x60000000 0x400000>;
                         };
                 };
         };

and serial0 is an alias:

serial0 = "/serial@12C20000";

I guess that's OK.

I did 'make distclean' every time before compiling again. Checking the 
date on dtb.o shows same date as the generated xen-uImage.

I will compile against every change in 
arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos5250-arndale.dts to see if I can find what made 
it stop working.

Also I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04 could this be the issue?
