AFAICT, the current elf loader code in the PV Dom0 builder uses virtual 
addresses, and the HVM Dom0 builder only uses physical addresses. I agree 
that it could probably be made to work for both, but it's going to make the 
code more complex, and I really prefer the HVM Dom0 builder to be as clean 
and simple as possible.
