Xen has no driver for this UART, so it would need to be added. I would 
recommend you to look at first implementing earlyprintk (see 
docs/misc/arm/early-printk.txt) and then a full UART driver.
For the UART driver, you can look to import the one from Linux.

Feel free to ask question if you are unsure how to proceed.

Cheers,
