I track this path:

qemu_register_pc_machine(&xenfv_machine);
        |
        + .init = pc_xen_hvm_init,
                |
                + pc_init_pci(machine);
                        |
                        + pc_init1(machine, 1, 1);
                                |
                                + i440fx_init()

So how to separate this to specific to xen? Or you mean we need to 
create an new machine to address this scenario? But actually this is 
same as xenfv_machine except for these little codes.
If you don't like this involve other cases, we may drop this chunk of 
codes as a function to tweak with CONFIG_XEN. But this is not good as 
well since this is device feature, so kvm may need this one day.

Thanks
Tiejun
