A Xen on ARM guest doesn't actually know the mfns behind its own
pseudo-physical pages. This is why we stopped using pfn_to_mfn and
started using pfn_to_bfn instead, which will generally return "pfn",
unless the page is a foreign grant. See include/xen/arm/page.h.
pfn_to_bfn was also introduced on x86. For example, see the usage of
pfn_to_bfn in drivers/xen/swiotlb-xen.c. Otherwise, if you don't care
about other mapped grants, you can just use pfn_to_gfn, that always
returns pfn.

Also, for your information, we support different page granularities in
Linux as a Xen guest, see the comment at include/xen/arm/page.h:

/*
* The pseudo-physical frame (pfn) used in all the helpers is always based
* on Xen page granularity (i.e 4KB).
*
* A Linux page may be split across multiple non-contiguous Xen page so we
* have to keep track with frame based on 4KB page granularity.
*
* PV drivers should never make a direct usage of those helpers (particularly
* pfn_to_gfn and gfn_to_pfn).
*/

A Linux page could be 64K, but a Xen page is always 4K. A granted page
is also 4K. We have helpers to take into account the offsets to map
multiple Xen grants in a single Linux page, see for example
drivers/xen/grant-table.c:gnttab_foreach_grant. Most PV drivers have
been converted to be able to work with 64K pages correctly, but if I
remember correctly gntdev.c is the only remaining driver that doesn't
support 64K pages yet, so you don't have to deal with it if you don't
want to.
