After some discussion about the xencommons init script and ExecStartPost
in xenstored.service, it was determined that manually
running /usr/bin/xenstore-write "/local/domain/0/domid" 0 would fix the
issue.
Was xenstored.service enabled? That should have set up the environment
correctly.

My qemu-dm-mars log file contained one line, Option xen-domid not
supported for this target. This error led those helping to question
about my qemu version and whether or not it supported xen.
One of the experiments I was intending to do with that build was to see if
xen would would work with Fedora's qemu. As you have just discovered the
answer is no, though the tools configuration option allowing you tell xen
where to find it seems to work. If you uninstall the qemu-system-x86
package or add the line
device_model_version="qemu-xen-traditional"
to your configuration file then your hvm guest should boot.
