First, please don't cross-post.  It's impolite.

You want to modify an emulator.  QEMU or Bochs would be a good start.  
The only way to trace an applications execution at the instruction level 
in Xen would be put it in debug mode which you have said is not a 
possibility.  Xen always runs application code on bare-metal.
