Near as I can tell the 0) is coming from the kernel command line but
it is getting mangled somewhere along the way. If I remove the
xen-pciback.hide directive from the grub config file, the kernel is
able to load the pciback module without issue, and without any
configuration. I tried moving the xen-pciback.hide directive to the
front of the kernel command line, it did not help.

If you haven't already done so I suggest you get rid of anything in
/etc/modprobe.d/ you added, just in case that is getting in the way.
