Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for the patch.

Is this something we expect? On probing we realize that some domains can't be 
turned on?

I understand that this would be a bug in the driver. Therefore we should at most 
provide a warning instead of working around the bug, hiding it. Or do I got this 
wrong?

Matthias
