Maybe that's the problem. Just now I tried to use ramdisk instead of
disk. It can create the domU.

kernel = "/home/Image"
ramdisk="/home/guestfs.cpio.gz"
name = "guest"
memory = 512
vcpus = 1
extra = "console=hvc0 root=/dev/ram ro"

And I checked that the CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_BACKEND is n. Then I select it.

root@genericarmv8:~# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep BLKDEV
CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_FRONTEND=y
CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_BACKEND=y

But when I create the domU with disk, it still failed:

root@genericarmv8:/home# xl create domU.cfg

root@genericarmv8:/home# cat domU.cfg
kernel = "/home/Image"
name = "guest"
memory = 512
vcpus = 1
extra = "console=hvc0 root=/dev/xvda ro"
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/loop0,xvda,w' ]
