If we swapped over from using an p2m_mid_identical to p2m_mid_missing
(earlier call to set_phys_to_machine) and then started going through the
PFNs in descending order to program a new MFN (balloon worker), we would
end up in this code path. At that point we would set up new page filled with
pointers to p2m_identity instead of p2m_missing. This had the disastrous
effect that get_phys_to_machine on that PFN would return an 1-1 mapping
instead of INVALID_P2M_ENTRY resulting in hitting a BUG check in balloon driver.
