+ Enable the PV extension of HVM, so that HVM guest would benefit from
+ PV features like PV timer and evtchn.

Unless there's a strong reason to make this a user-visible setting, I'd make it a hidden option which is enabled by default when the dependencies are correct.

Why does it matter? If you're only using hypercalls in the first page, it doesn't matter whether Xen exports more pages beyond that.

wrmsr_safe() with error check, just in case it fails?

Set this very last, once everything else has successfully set up.

Did you compile test this with !CONFIG_XEN_HVM_PV? I think it would fail with xen_hvm_pv_evtchn_enabled() undefined. Fortunately making xen_hvm_pv_evtchn_enabled() evaluate to constant 0 in the !configed case will clean things up.
