Pages returned by alloc_xenballooned_pages() will be used for grant mapping which will call set_phys_to_machine() (in PV guests).
Ballooned pages are set as INVALID_P2M_ENTRY in the p2m and thus may be using the (shared) missing tables and a subsequent set_phys_to_machine() will need to allocate new tables. Since the grant mapping may be done from a context that cannot sleep, the p2m entries must already be allocated.
