I think it's too early to set pm callbacks. If Linux is running as dom0,
xen needs to overwrite the power management callback. Otherwise, dom0
could shutdown/restart the whole platform, that is annoying.
For instance, on the versatile express, the power management callback
are set very late (ie during driver initialization).

pm callbacks should be updated by a late initcall and check if xen is
enabled.
