So I've managed to test the basics:

  16:02:33 [root@latte:~] # xl create simple-guest.conf
  Parsing config from simple-guest.conf
  libxl: info: libxl_create.c:120:libxl__domain_build_info_setdefault: qemu-xen 
is unavailable, using qemu-xen-traditional instead: No such file or directory
  16:02:43 [root@latte:~] # xl list

  16:02:51 [root@latte:~] # ps ax  | grep qemu

However I'm a little lost on how to add HW to this machine. Is it all
via the guest configuration?

I think it would be worthwhile adding some documentation for this
machine to the manual, maybe docs/system/xen/xenpv.rst and then it can
be linked to from the appropriate target-arm.rst.
