As I said, it is a bit of a hack, but I'm not opposed to the idea. I'd
like it to be driven differently though. Instead of requiring a new
interface, I'd like it to be resolved on demand as domains get
requested. This would allow for some of the more exotic stuff to be
never created (platform MSI anyone?), because no device needs it.
