It does?

I see it call mfn_to_local_pfn which calls pfn_to_mfn and
get_phys_to_machine (which I presume is going to be a slow
operation on ARM).

Have you tested this with a PFN that is in a foreign domain?

I am bit uncomfortable with this - I recall when developing this
that I had hit some odd cases of doing DMA of a page to a guest
and it not always working. It was the case of not detecting whether
the pfn was foreign or not. Sadly I can't recall the details.

I would think that this problem would also be present with ARM?
But perhaps all the new changes in the pfn_to_mfn that had lately
been done have fixed this?
