_All_ HVM guests need _either_ EPT/NPT _or_ shadow pagetables, to make
the extra translation from guest physical addresses to machine addresses.

Did you try searching the code for "EPT"?  The EPT datastructures are
construced in p2m_ept.c.  (p2m is the general term in Xen for the table
that maps physical addresses to machine addresses).
