Thanks for your feedback. Yes, I'm using "HiKey" that I recently bought. I
tried RELEASE-4.9.0 and RELEASE-4.8.0 and RELEASE-4.7.3. None of them
boots. There were little differences. Xen 4.8 printed one line more and
stopped:
~~~~~~~~~~~
.......
(XEN) Freed 268kB init memory.
(XEN) Hardware Dom0 shutdown: rebooting machine
~~~~~~~~~~~
Xen 4.9 rebooted after it failed to boot.

Do you think the issue is with the Xen version?

This is how I build Xen:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cd xen/xen
export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
export ARCH=arm64
export XEN_TARGET_ARCH=arm64
make defconfig
make -j8
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Should I make specific config for HiKey?

And in this link: https://lists.gt.net/xen/devel/433472, they could boot
the system by disabling the USB_DWC2 in the kernel. I tried modifying the
.config file directly and disabling the ones related to USB_DWC2
 (commenting the line out) but when I tried rebuilding the kernel it
restarted generating the .config file. So I couldn't apply this comment.
