Why the shouty caps?

Did you mean 4.3 here and throughout?

Is this second compatible thing actually true? We don't actually emulate
much (anything?) of what would be on a real vexpress motherboard.

"arm,vexpress" is used only in v2m.c and I don't think we want the
majority of that -- we don't provide any of the peripherals which it
registers.

I think the only things we might want out of that lot are the arch timer
and perhaps the uart0 (as a debug port).

I suspect we should have our own xen machine .c.

Don't we mean "arm,cortex-a15-gic" here? That's what we actually
provide. I'm not sure how the a9 and a15 differ.
