I think it would be nicer to redirect the entire directory, not just
the enlighten.o and grant-table.o files. You could do in arch/arm64/Makefile:

core-(CONFIG_XEN) += arch/arm/xen/

That leaves a small difference in hypercall.o, which I think you can
handle with an #ifdef.

I believe the reason why KVM does the more elaborate variant is that
they want to be able to build their code as a loadable module that
also includes code from virt/kvm, which you don't need.
