It realy shouldn't make any difference. It's probably a question for Xen
Devel tho'.
If you can access the device from kernel mode (have you tried that?)
then you should be able to access it from user-mode, I would have
thought.
The linux kernel is actually responsible for mapping the memory itself,
and aside from checking some permissions, there is no difference to the
hypervisor whether a domain is DomU or Dom0.
