Given that this code is already ifdef'ed CONFIG_X86_64, this comment
should be removed.

I take from the comment that new_mfn_list must not be zero. Maybe we
want a BUG_ON or a WARN_ON?

This was a normal condition when the function was executed on both
x86_64 and x86_32. Now that it is only executed on x86_64, is it still
the case?
