You are able to mount /dev/xvd* if you have CONFIG_XEN_PLATFORM_PCI
(because it is required to initialize blkfront), but you should be able
to mount /dev/hd* just fine without CONFIG_XEN_PLATFORM_PCI.

However if you have CONFIG_XEN_PLATFORM_PCI in your config, then the
kernel will unplug the emulated disks at boot so you'll only be able to
mount /dev/xvd*.
