I noticed one curious thing while working on some issues with Fedora.
At least in 2.6.17-1.2302_FC6xen, the following evaluates to false:
 if (xen_feature(XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap))
 return pfn;
So I am curious, if this is something anyone cares about.
Also, why does it happen? If it's a feature which cannot be enabled
(anymore), perhaps we can simply the code and get some performance
by removing the run-time checks.
Well, when doing migration (especially during migration)
maybe the mode is switched ?
I know we go into shadow pagetable mode during migration...
