Let me get this straight.

1. You want to run an _existing_ platforms kernel under Xen, where the
   platform assumes that it has various devices at various locations,
   and will make direct accesses to those devices.

2. You don't want to provide some of those devices, and you arrange for
   those unprovided devices to fault.

Excuse me if I think that's really silly.

Lastly, aren't all ARMv7 kernels (therefore Xen supporting kernels)
supposed to be part of the multiplatform kernel stuff now?
