I don't actually know much about Xen, but I do know that QEMU's
standard mode of operation is pure-userspace, though there are ways to
accelerate it with kernel support, so it should work fine in Xen. For
that matter, DOSEMU can do emulation as well; maybe you could try it;
see http://dosemu.sourceforge.net/docs/README-tech/1.4/cpuemu.html

... or you could just run DOSEMU under QEMU ;-)
