That case will work, but what this will break is launching the initial domain
with a Xenstore stub domain already running (see below).

The above is correct for domUs, and is overridden for dom0s:

>> + if (xen_hvm_domain() && xen_initial_domain())
>> + usage = LOCAL;
>> + if (xen_pv_domain() && !xen_start_info->store_evtchn)

Instead of these checks, I think it should just be:

if (!xen_start_info->store_evtchn)
usage = LOCAL;

Any domain started after xenstore will have store_evtchn set, so if you don't
have this set, you are either going to be running xenstore locally, or will
use the ioctl to change it later (and so should still set up everything as if
it will be running locally).

This part can now just be moved unconditionally into case PV.
