Any reason to not use 'pfn_to_mfn' call instead? If we do want
to use the get_hhys_to_machine wouldn't be easier to just
check for 'FOREIGN_FRAME_BIT' set? Or is just mostly a copy-n-paste
of mfn_to_local_pfn?

Asking this b/c with some of my changes this will be triggered on
identity mappings. The reason being that the IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT
is still set when using get_phys_to_machine. However on the 'pfn_to_mfn'
call, that is cleared (along with the FOREIGN_FRAME_BIT)...
