Looks like the checksum on xsa254-diff-release410-comet1.1.patch is incorrect.
Today I upgraded from 4.8 to 4.10, and I got this (no more information is available, so I don't know what should I do; also, google has no any usable info):
xenstored.service - The Xen xenstore Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/xenstored.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: protocol) since Wed 2018-02-28 10:23:45 CET; 2min 6s ago Process: 506 ExecStart=/etc/xen/scripts/launch-xenstore (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 485 ExecStartPre=/bin/grep -q control_d /proc/xen/capabilities (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 506 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
If your guest cannot see disks, make sure you have the xen-blkfront module loaded in your guest. You can use a serial port on the dom0 to get the full Xen log. I have a 4.10 PKGBUILD here: https://gitlab.com/archlinux-packages-johnth/xen
@mbroemme if you happen to have a git repo or PKGBUILD for 4.10 I'd love to give it a try; for some reason I'm having issues with linux install disks not detecting the HDD on any VM I try to setup and also been getting some errors after xen boots prior to the kernel but haven't been able to capture them at all.
Hoping that 4.10 resolves these for me.
@das_j: According to the wiki 4.10 was released. If you want I can also take it over and continue to maintain it.

We've moved to the newly-stable 4.20.0 branch. There are also other changes:
If you're still using pygrub note that it is deprecated. The solution is to build PV grub instead, which used to be in AUR but is now missing. I am asking a couple questions on the mailing list, and I intend to put my current build of xen-grub (which supersedes xen-pvhgrub) on AUR as soon as possible. If you need to build it before that occurs, you can find it in my PKGBUILD repo.
EDIT: 4.20.0-2 adds support for the xen-edk2 package, which has a fixed UEFI for xen
