A xen specific target is definitely the wrong approach.

I understand the desire to avoid the TCG code.  We would like to 
(optionally) do the same in KVM.

The right way to do this though is to make it possible to build without 
TCG by wrapping the common interfaces in a function pointer table.

This takes a non-target specific file and makes it target specific.  
This is not a reasonable approach.  What's the issue with the existing 
exec.c?
