Are you sure? This will return vmalloc_to_pfn(address)).
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.

How will mfn be returned on PV when pfn_to_gfn() is an identity function?

static inline unsigned long pfn_to_gfn(unsigned long pfn)
 {
     return pfn;
 }

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.
