Creating an initrd is no sweat, it's just a CPIO archive these days. 
It's usually compressed, but that's not necessary, so once you have a 
script to build your binary, then all you need to do more is put it in 
the right place and run cpio to create a new initrd.

As to testing, how else would you test it other than by running on h/w 
where you have a problem?

I expect you can do the basic "Does it boot?" test under xen.
