You don't need more xc_dom infrastructure, I've tried to make the libelf
bits independant of the xc_dom stoff for exactly that reason.
Have a look at the hvm loader (xc_hvm_build.c). It uses libelf too, it
has a loadelfimage() which maps the memory, calls elf_load_binary,
unmaps again. You could do that too.
Oh, and an example of page-by-page loading using libelf is in
xen/arch/ia64/xen/domain.c.

It's identical now I think. In the early days (before split-off elf
handling code to libelf) I've tried to use the new domain builder for
hvm too, the logic whevener pfn->mfn translation is needed was a bit
more complex than just looking up shadow_enabled.
