I'd prefer not to change it.  These changes make no difference to the
generated code, and I see a small semantic difference between "is this a
Xen domain?" and "what kind of Xen domain is it?", as the latter on
really makes sense if it is in fact a Xen domain; the fact that
xen_domain() is also implemented in terms of xen_domain_type is just a
detail.
