Perhaps this bugzilla is relevant:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=204825

I always found that the only way I could get more than 4 serial
ports to work is by adding the kernel boot parameter:

8250.nr_uarts=9

Perhaps you have that kernel parameter and that's why you get
all your serial ports in the non-xen kernel, but in the xen kernel,
the 8250 driver is a module, so you'd need a modprobe.conf
options line to pass the nr_uarts parameter to the module.

Just my guess :-).
