The fact that frame_table is not initialised here (and hence will be NULL)
doesn't actually matter, since the result of mfn_to_page() is only actually
used as a value to page_to_mfn(). And page_to_mfn(mfn_to_page(m))==m for any
(constant) value of frame_table.

This code could be clearer I'll admit. It probably makes sense for
alloc_xen_pagetable to return an MFN rather than a page_info pointer.
