At every tlb miss time, you can get guest translation from software TLB (not from VHPT). You actually don't need to care about VHPT entries no matter it is all there or nothing there. Then using p2m information, Xen can generate machine translation for the fault address and then insert to VHPT or TLB base on other policy.
