This patch will break compilation on ARM. You are using hardware_dom 
which is defined in xen/arch/x86/setup.c.
I'm not sure if the best solution is to move the defined for 
hardware_dom in common code ... because settings this variable to a 
value other than 0 will break ARM boot with your changes in patch #1.
Supporting hardware domain on ARM will need rework on dom0 builder.
