Not by the Xen w/ hardware extensions port (i.e.
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARM_with_Virtualization_Extensions). I
can't speak for the PV port.

If the hardware has the appropriate virtualisation support then porting
to a new platform isn't all that troublesome, if you've got a working
upstream Linux kernel with DTB support to use as dom0.

Thanks.

TI ships a 3.8.4 kernel for OMAP5432 uEVM. I think it may be new enough for a dom0?

I think so, initial support was in 3.7 IIRC and 3.8 had most of what is
needed to get started. You likely just need to recompile it with
CONFIG_XEN enabled.
