On x86, at least, the vmap apparatus should be able to tell you what
MFN is mapped by using the linear map to look at the l1e.  On ARM, it
looks like we could walk the xen pagetable trie from xen_second[] for
the same effect.

So I'd suggest adding a vmap_to_mfn() and usign that instead of
building the red-black tree. 

Cheers,

Tim.
