So what would be wrong with simply conditionalizing the call to 
 acpi_pcihp_device_plug_cb() with a check for xen in piix4_device_plug_cb()
as follows:

         }
     } else if (object_dynamic_cast(OBJECT(dev), TYPE_PCI_DEVICE)) {
-        acpi_pcihp_device_plug_cb(hotplug_dev, &s->acpi_pci_hotplug, dev, 
errp);
+        if (!xen_enabled()) {
+            acpi_pcihp_device_plug_cb(hotplug_dev, &s->acpi_pci_hotplug, dev,
+                                      errp);
+        }
     } else if (object_dynamic_cast(OBJECT(dev), TYPE_CPU)) {
         if (s->cpu_hotplug_legacy) {
             legacy_acpi_cpu_plug_cb(hotplug_dev, &s->gpe_cpu, dev, errp);

Wouldn't that be the solution?
