I was intending to update xen on Fedora 20 to the newly released
xen-4.3.0. This adds ARM support as a technology preview, though I
don't know if this meets your requirements.
I've not tried it, but apparently Xen have sorted out all the issues
with hardware virt on the Chromebook (the "issues" being some u-boot
hacking is needed).
However for Fedora, I'm really talking about KVM. For libguestfs and
the virt-tools we don't currently support Xen.
