I haven't run Xen on ARM yet. But just a random thought:
Is it possible that you need to provide the console=hvc0 for the boot
cmdline of dom0?

dom0 needs share the serial port with Xen.

But is dom0 booted up?
If you have network, can you connect to it?
If dom0 did boot up, then at least we know it's some configuration issue.
Again, I haven't tried on ARM yet, but I'd love to... :-)
