I did a little digging to try and build you a serial_core.ko.

I seems that in the binary install the CONFIG_XEN_DISABLE_SERIAL has
been set to yes.  This allows the xen console driver to provide a
console on waht will appear as ttyS0 in the domUs.

If I read this correctly you're in a situation where you need to build
seperate dom0 and domU kenrels from source.

Have a look at: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/InstallationNotes
for guidance.
