What evidence do you have of this claim?
Have you actually deleted the workaround, and confirmed that Xen works
fully and correctly on this hardware? If not, that is your next task.

These details are typically hard wired.

I'm afraid that this doesn't prove anything.
Topmarking fraud sadly exists. A famous example is the overclocking
multiplier which used to be an external pin to chips, and no longer is
because the cheaper slower CPUs had their topmarkings forged and sold as
expensive faster ones.
