Thats correct.  I downloaded the binary install and it seems that
somehow serial_core isn't built, either into the kernel or as a module.

CONFIG_ELF_CORE=y
# CONFIG_I2C_DEBUG_CORE is not set
CONFIG_DVB_CORE=m
CONFIG_PROC_KCORE=y

Don't know how or why.  You have 2 options as far as I can see:
 a) Convince someone to build you a serial_core.ko that will work with
    the binary install of Xen.
 b) Built xen from source yourself.

I can do "a" for you but not for a few days sorry.
