This should make you happy, to be able to boot the VM without any initrd:
max@vsc-build:/proc$ zgrep XEN config.gz
CONFIG_XEN=y
CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_FRONTEND=y
CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND=y
CONFIG_HVC_XEN=y

If you want to compile this stuff as modules you will have to use an
initrd of course.

Hi Max,

My compiled kernel configuration looks like this ,

 >zgrep XEN .config
CONFIG_XEN=y
CONFIG_XEN_MAX_DOMAIN_MEMORY=20
CONFIG_XEN_SAVE_RESTORE=y
CONFIG_XEN_DEBUG_FS=y
CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_FRONTEND=y
CONFIG_NETXEN_NIC=m
CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND=y
CONFIG_XEN_KBDDEV_FRONTEND=m
CONFIG_HVC_XEN=y
CONFIG_XEN_FBDEV_FRONTEND=m
CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON=y
CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES=y
 

 So I think I compiled some as modules and the required in kernel itself. The kernel image with this configuration is failing.
