The mainline port of Xen to ARM[0] requires virtualization extensions
which I believe the Cortex A9 lacks. AFAIK only the Cortex A7 and A15
have them.

There was a previous ARM PV port[1] (which I am not involved with) but
it is effectively dead and I expect won't support anything so modern as
an A9.
