Can you give any more details about this?  Which drivers, for
instance?  Why do drivers care about the domain at all?  Can we or
should we make this more explicit and consistent in the PCI core,
e.g., pci_domain_nr() is currently defined to return "int"; maybe it
should be u32?  (Although I think "int" is the same size as "u32" on
all arches anyway).
