Are you looking to count: 
 - page faults in the guest (that would have happened on a real server);
 - page faults caused by the hypervisor (i.e. due to shadow pagetables); or
 - page faults caused by Xen tools paging the guest memory to disk?

Or something else?  Not all pagefaults are easy to count, by the way. 

Tim.
