It seems that when sysmonopen() is called, it might need to autoload the

if the autoload failed, the code blindly proceeded to call the
sub-component's open routine anyway (indirectly through the sysmon_opvec
table). Since autoload had failed, the opvec entry was never loaded and we
jumped off into never-never land. :)
this is likely to be the problem. Xen kernels are not MODULAR.
Hmmm. I might have to re-insert the various xxx_init() calls back into
kern/init_main.c for the non-MODULAR systems.
BTW, why do we have a completely separate /stand/{amd64,i386}-xen
directory structure to hold the xen modules, if xen kernels are not
capable of loading them?
