The attached patch makes set_phys_to_machine(pfn,mfn) return the old
entry in the array, such that the old entry can be restored again using
the same call. If the feature XENFEAT_auto_translate_physmap is not
enabled, then these two calls will end up in no-op relative to changes
to the phys_to_machine_mapping array.

There's currently only one occurrence where remembering the entry from
the array is necessary and this is in the vTPM backend driver.

This patch builds on top of the previously posted TPM backend patch.
