Of course it isn't. What was I thinking?!

As you mentioned earlier, I couldn't get it working without setting the
proper gateway. So I instead went with the ip= syntax to specify gateway
IP too:

  vif = [ "script=vif-nat,ip=192.168.1.1" ]
  extra = "earlyprintk=xenboot console=hvc0 root=/dev/nfs 
nfsroot=/path/to/nfs/root ip=192.168.1.1:10.1.193.170:192.168.1.128 debug rw

With that, I can boot guest with NFS root!

Thanks for your help.
