If you boot your hypervisor with guest_loglvl=all on the command line
then you should be able to log to Xen's ring buffer by outb'ing bytes
to port 0xe9.  The results will show up in xm dmesg and the hypervisor
serial console.

I'm not sure what version of Xen you're running, but some of the older
ones had problems with rep outsb to that port, so you might be better
off using a bunch of individual outb's.
