Some other comments though:
* Now that it no longer depends on TARGET_PAGE_SIZE, is it possible to
use common-obj-$(CONFIG_XEN)? Then it would build only once rather than
separately for i386 and x86_64 and any future Xen platforms (e.g., arm).
* It looks as if the MMIO functions were renamed - the arguments no
longer align. That could be edited before you apply the patch to your
queue if there's nothing else - then feel free to add my Reviewed-by
independent of the other issue.
* Paolo had asked for new MemoryRegions not to include the device name -
can be renamed once they get the owner field though (not merged yet).
Don't have a better suggestion handy.

Also Paul, by my count this is [PATCH v4] - please use
--subject-prefix="PATCH v5" if you respin and include the change log
either below "---" or in a cover letter. We prefer to see it for patch
review but not in Git commit history.
Similarly, "Introduce a new Xen PV device..." would elegantly avoid
reading "This patch..." after it's been committed. ;)

Regards,
Andreas
