Yes, but current VMX code is still using a simple contiguous page_array 
to do foreign map although there is phys_to_machine_mapping in HV. It is
just a
 minor bug. Probably providing phys_to_machine_mapping to DM like kevin
suggested 
through a special hypercall is an easy way for DM to do map right.
Comments?
