The page frames containing the phys_to_machine_mapping[] are referred
to in the suspend record written by Xenolinux when it is suspended. 
The mapping array is then rewritten by xc_linux_restore before
resuming the Xenolinux instance.

So yes -- that mapping does need to be reinitialised somewhere. The
default tools already do this.
