Thing is, take if_xennet_xenbus.c for example, it relies on MD

to x86, and not suitable for sys/dev/xen yet.

For there barriers, there's the MI membar_*() API.
The P2M translations would need an MI API with MD specific implementations.

Yes

Without having the P2M translations abstracted in a MI fashion,
I think, sys/arch/xen/dev is the proper place.

I agree

You are planning it for after the 5.x branch?
