You probably overlooked the == 0 et the end of the expression:

>    if ( is_pv_32on64_domain(d) )
>    {
>        okay = paging_mode_refcounts(d)
>            ? 0 /* Old code was broken, but what should it be? */

>                    __va(pagetable_get_paddr(curr->arch.guest_table)),
>                    l4e_from_pfn(
>                        mfn,
>                        (_PAGE_PRESENT|_PAGE_RW|_PAGE_USER|_PAGE_ACCESSED)),
>                    pagetable_get_pfn(curr->arch.guest_table), 0, 0, curr) == 
> 0;
                                                                         ^^^^

Which basically is equivalent to what you were trying to suggest.
