I think you are hot on the trail. Try hitting 'i' (or maybe it is 'I')
and see what Xen prints out for the IRQ mapping.  Earlier on you
mentioned that you saw: "Xen: Cannot share IRQ0 with guest." which is a
bit strange, considering you are booting Dom0. IRQ0 is usually the
timer, but it looks as if the serial port is on interrupt 0? It
shouldn't be - try adding some more printk's and find out what IRQ it
thinks it is.

Also try to boot the kernel without Xen and see what IRQ the serial port
driver uses then.
