The original authors of P- and C-state handling look to have assumed that T-state handling should work similarly, i.e. by Dom0 uploading relevant data. See public/platform.h starting at #define XENPF_set_processor_pminfo 54 where in particular you'll find #define XEN_PM_TX 2 Additionally "done by dom0 using xenpm" still means Xen carrying out the actual operation. And xenpm of course is only an auxiliary tool by which an admin can influence overall behavior, it doesn't replace a proper governor.
