We've already identified a possible fix, which I can point to if so desired,

I think the fix referred to is here:

https://salsa.debian.org/xen-team/debian-xen/-/tree/knorrie/for-diederik-3-fixes

AFAICT, this fix involves adding three more commits from the
unstable upstream Xen 4.16 branch in addition to the nine
commits already added from unstable upstream Xen 4.16
to provide better support for the Raspberry Pi 4 but with
the unintended side effect of #994899.

I do not object to this fix for Debian's current unstable
distribution. However, this bug concerns Debian's
current stable version, bullseye, not sid/unstable.

I would respectfully disagree with the Release Team's
decision to migrate the aforementioned fix from the
unstable release to bullseye unless the fix is accepted
by the upstream Xen project in its stable 4.14 branch and
its future stable point releases 4.14.x.

IMO, the debdiff attached to message #30:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=995341#30

is a better suited fix more in accordance with the stability/security
requirements of a typical Debian stable release.
