Will add as:

diff --git a/arch/arm/include/asm/xen/hypercall.h b/arch/arm/include/asm/xen/hypercall.h
index 712b50e..4fc8395 100644
--- a/arch/arm/include/asm/xen/hypercall.h
+++ b/arch/arm/include/asm/xen/hypercall.h
@@ -74,4 +74,9 @@ MULTI_mmu_update(struct multicall_entry *mcl, struct mmu_update *req,
 	BUG();
 }
 
+static inline bool xen_is_preemptible_hypercall(struct pt_regs *regs)
+{
+	return false;
+}
+
 #endif /* _ASM_ARM_XEN_HYPERCALL_H */

This will cover both arm and arm64 as arm64 includes the arm header.
