Well, the names are a bit confusing.
* "machine address" is the address of the real machine.
* "physical address" is the address within the virtual machine.
So what you have in the page table entries is the "machine
address", but the virtualized linux usually has to translate
that into the "physical address", when looking up the page
information in the virtual machines frame table (mem_map[]
in linux IIRC) for example.
