Short-term fix: For HVM guests, return frame list by scanning the P2M table
so you definitely get the frames in the right order (currently it always
scans the ownership linked list, which actually has no guaranteed order).

Long-term fix: Always map HVM guest pages by PFN rather than MFN. This will
avoid domain0 needing to manually do P->M translations -- it'll instead
happen automatically inside Xen. Much neater.

Overall we should be aiming to get read of get_pfn_list entirely, especially
for HVM guests.
