Right, I made the mistake when I re-introduced virt_to_mfn in this
version. It was dropped in the previous one.

I guess you mean vmalloc_to_mfn will return vmalloc_to_pfn?

If so, it will be only the case on auto-translated case (because pfn ==
gfn). In the case of PV, the mfn will be returned.

Although, this function is misnamed. It's fixed in a follow-up patch
(see #6) because it's required more renaming than this function. I
didn't want to add such changes within this patch.

Regards,
