You would at the very least need a kernel which supports the various Xen
drivers etc, which I think probably counts as a step beyond rooting.

Although having gotten a suitable kernel etc I can't see a reason why root 
would be needed in a domU. I'm not that familiar with the Android security
model, but I would imagine that the toolstack operations in dom0 (which
normally involve root on a regular Linux) would need something very close
to root access to be workable.
