Shadow pages used to have a different page_info structure, though that's
no longer true in the latest versions. Shadow pages are *never* guest
memory, though. They're owned and managed by Xen and the guest never
even gets read access to them.
If you want to know which guest frame a shadow is a shadow of, look at
the backpointer field in the shadow page_info. You'll need to check the
count an type fields to make sure it's in use as the right kind of
shadow first, though.
Why do you want to be able to do this, by the way?
