set_phys_to_machine is a NOP if XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap but it
includes some useful sanity checks (BUG_ON(pfn != mfn && mfn !=
INVALID_P2M_ENTRY)) so it would be useful to keep calling it I think.

You can combine this two ifs into one (like you did above).

This is just a case of not yet implemented rather than a fundamental
problem with v2 grant tables, correct? (i.e. future work)

It doesn't leak it?

We should consider using xenballoon_alloc_pages here.
